Laurel Ridge Setauket Woods Nature Preserve - 5.0 miles

This is a 5 mile hike. The trail is winding and woodsy with good tree cover. It's frequented by both hikers and cyclists. So be prepared to dodge the occasional mountain bike. This trail is easy to moderate then easy again.

If you plan to attend this hike, it is essential that you 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.
Nearest address is 130 N. Belle Meade Rd., Setauket, NY
Parking is on the shoulders of both sides of the road near the trail entrance.

ATTENTION: New attendees to my Late Winter/Mid-Summer Hiking Season(2/15 - 8/15/2026) are required to pay a one time semi-annual $5.00 fee to cover my planning, preparation and Meetup.com's exorbitant fees. This fee will cover you for all future hikes through August 15, 2026. Generous donations are also greatly appreciated.
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.

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 Greg anytime
