Avalon Nature Preserve

“Belmont Lake Boat Launch Belmont Lake State Park, located in West Babylon is a 463-acre day use park bisected by Carll's Creek and Belmont Lake. The park, established in 1926 had been owned by August Belmont and served as farmland for some of Belmont's equestrian activities. Robert Moses chose this park to establish the regional headquarters for all state parks on Long Island in 1935, which serves the public today for region-wide permit sales, park administration and as headquarters for the New York State Park Police. The park is primarily visited by families seeking outdoor gatherings, picnics, and informal sports activities. There is also boat rentals for rowing in the lake.”

“Port Jefferson is a beautiful seaport village with amazing views, old-fashioned shoppes and great dining and entertainment options for day into night!”

“At the western end of Fire Island is the restored Fire Island Lighthouse. If you can manage almost 200 steps (with view stops at windows along the way), the view from the top is spectacular in all directions.”

“Robert Moses State Park is an ocean beachfront facility that attracts nearly 3.8 million visitors annually and boasts a shoreline of nearly five miles.

“It's a beautiful place to go and enjoy nature, with a diverse range of wildlife, ranging from song birds to deer to fox to whales in the ocean. The bridge connecting Long Island to Fire Island National Seashore is only one mile down the road and is only one of two bridges connecting Long Island to the Barrier island.”
