Cold Spring Harbor Trailhead to Harbor Rd. - moderate to difficult - 4½-5 mi.
Details
NOTE: This is arguably the most challenging hiking trail on Long Island. Hiking sticks are suggested.
For this hike, I also recommend shorts or long pants and hiking shoes with good treads. You might want to bring water to keep you hydrated as well as a snack to keep you energized.
This hilly trail starts from CSH State Park off Harbor Rd. /25a and extends south to Lawrence Hill Rd. After crossing LHR the trail continues on the Greenbelt trail another 1¼ miles to a different part of Harbor Road where we turn around and return on the same path from which we came.
When you arrive in the parking lot, look for me holding my sign-in clipboard standing near my big red pickup truck. This is a very popular trail so I suggest that you arrive early to get parked and signed in.
New attendees to my Late Winter/Mid-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 up through August 15, 2026.
You can pay with Cash or Zelle to my cell no. (631-275-0512)
Generous donations are also appreciated.
