Okay so this is an easy quick path. It's about 2 miles, and it's just a loop. Nothing really spectacular to see . Definitely check for ticks we got a couple on us. Did find some wild grapes and interesting mushrooms. No bathrooms. The trails were overgrown in some spots.

Nice place for a hike or bike ride. Pretty dense vegetation, not a lot to see. Trails had been mowed but there were branches blocking the path. No signs or trail markers or map. Saw one other person (birder) while there. Quiet, peaceful.

First, the location shown on google maps is wrong, the entrance is on Sound Ave, not on Penny's Rd. The preserve runs between Sound Shore Road and Sound Ave, and doesn't abut Penny's rd at any point. Second this is actually a Suffolk County Park and the "Inc" seems to refer to the separate private property of a former owner.. Third, although it used to be a very pleasant place to walk, it's been recently severely damaged by bulldozing, apparently in an attempt to prevent water from reaching LI Sound via Sound Shore Road. The preserve has always had a lot of wetlands in its northern half and these function to absorb water. Fourth, as with many preserves on Long Island, it can be infested with hunters in winter, even worse than the ticks in summer. Fifth, it can be very noisy because there's a lot of low flying helicopters and seaplanes on their way to/from East Hampton.

Run down and practically abandoned. There are a lot of ticks. The good thing is that the trails are long and relaxing. Even the parts like the abandoned clubhouse and tennis courts are cool to be around, with nostalgic feelings when you’re there.
