Peaceful Summer Walks Through Nature Around Long Island
Now that summer has arrived, you're probably itching to spend more time outdoors. Luckily, the Long Island area is home to many parks and paths where you can stroll along while enjoying nature. Whether you're in the mood to meander through the forest or bird watch in a field, here are some of the top places our real estate agents recommend taking a summer walk.
- Kings Point Park - Kings Point Road, Great Neck, NY 11024
If you're looking at Great Neck homes for sale, then Kings Point Park is just around the corner. This 175-acre park boasts over five miles of hiking trails. They stretch through sections of forest and also pass the soccer fields and softball diamonds. Leashed dogs are allowed in Kings Point Park. If you feel like having a bite to eat after your walk, there are plenty of covered picnic shelters to choose from. There are also public restrooms on-site. - Christopher Morley Park - 500 Searingtown Road, Roslyn, NY 11576
Christopher Morley Park has been a favorite among residents since its founding in 1961. The park is the former estate of Nettie Ryan and is named after Christopher Morley, a prolific 20th-century writer. Hiking trails weave through this park. They're appropriate for hikers of all abilities as they are mostly flat and clear. The park also boasts tennis courts, handball courts, and a recently renovated playground for the kids. Enjoy the morning, and then stop in to look at some Roslyn homes for sale nearby. - Red Cote Nature Trail - Yellow Cote Road, Oyster Bay, NY 11771
The Red Cote Nature Trail is a 1.1-mile hiking trail that weaves through the Red Cote Nature Preserve. This loop trail is a lovely place to see butterflies, songbirds, and other small wildlife. It's also conveniently located near some lovely Oyster Bay homes for sale. Visitors love the trees along this nature trail. There are several towering old oaks and red cedars. There are also plenty of wildflowers in bloom throughout the spring and summer months. - Bay Walk Park - Shore Road, Port Washington, NY 11050
If you're looking at Port Washington homes for sale, then plan on relaxing at Bay Walk Park afterward. This park is situated along the waterfront and features several walking paths that offer a lovely view of the shoreline. Bay Walk Park also has two piers, where you can admire the waterfront even more closely. The park is in the midst of being revitalized, so you may want to check in throughout the summer to admire the progress. - Peak Harrison Williams Woods - School Road, Bayville, NY 11709
If you're new to hiking or don't want to go very far, then check out Peak Harrison Williams Woods. This trail is only 0.6 miles long, but you'll see so much nature along the short route. It weaves through sections of dense, old-growth forest, and there are some wetter areas where birds tend to gather. Peak Harrison Williams Woods is fairly well-traveled, so you won't be alone. There are many great Bayville homes for sale nearby if you're looking for something else to do in the area. Walking can be a great way to consider your options after a day of house hunting!
From Bayville to Port Washington, we hope you enjoy these trails as much as we do. Have a great summer, and don't hesitate to contact us if you're looking for a new place to call home.
