Greenbelt Trail - 9 West Ave. Smithtown to Hidden Pond Park Hauppauge

this is an easy, very scenic, mostly flat, occasionally muddy 4.5 MI Greenbelt trail hike from West Avenue in Smithtown across the Smithtown bypass and down to Hidden Pond Park and back. Unless it's pouring, this event is rain or shine.

IMPORTANT!!!**

If you plan to attend this hike, it is essential that you RSVP. Lately people are showing up who didn't RSVP. So unless you are a guest of another member, YOU NEED TO RSVP TO ATTEND.

INSTRUCTIONS:
When you arrive, look for Greg. I'll be standing near my big red GMC Denali pickup truck holding my sign-in clipboard .

SUGGESTIONS:
For this hike, I recommend wearing shorts, leggings or long pants and shoes with good treads. Bring water to keep you hydrated and, if you like, a snack to keep you energized.

ALERT! Since it's officially bug season, insect repellent is recommended and it's a good idea to check yourself for ticks at the end of the hike, before you get back into your car or after you get home.

REMINDER: New attendees to my Spring thru Summer hiking season are required to pay a $5.00 semi-annual fee to cover my planning, preparation and Meetup.com's exorbitant fees. This fee will cover you for all future hikes through August 2025.
Generous donations are also greatly appreciated.

Please, if you RSVP, DON'T BE A NO SHOW!
If you can't make it last minute, please cancel your RSVP. If you get lost, call me for directions. If you're running late, call me with your ETA. If you have any other questions, comments or suggestions, feel free to contact me, Greg, anytime, at 631-275-0512

Thank you for being a member.

Happy Trails
