Another park in Long islands, the park takes its name from the low meadowland which separates the beach from the uplands. A man made dam separates a brackish creek and marshes from the tidal flats, south of which are acres of undeveloped and heavily-wooded hills. The visitor can swim in Long Island Sound where three miles of beach meets tall, glacier formed bluffs at the west end of the shoreline. Like any other beaches in Long Islands, there are similar outdoor facilities in Sunken Meadow State park, such as: biking, horseback riding, picnicking, windsurfing, cross-country skiing, 27 holes of golf, a driving range, a putting range and a three quarter mile boardwalk.
Something you should know before you go to Sunken Meadow State Park, especially if you’re usually taking your pets along with you. Pets cannot enter through the main entrance and not allowed in bathing or picnic areas, in buildings or on walkways. So better leave your pets in your neighbor or relatives.
Adventure’s is what Sunken Meadow State Park about, if you like spent your holiday in the water, try kayaking, canoeing or windsurfing for some unforgettable fun. Outdoor sports like fishing, horseback riding, and hiking, as well as biking in the woods, are ample here, as is the nature viewing. For Hikers, they will love the 32-mile Long Island Greenbelt Trail which passes through the park, and the 5-kilometer running course featuring “Cardiac Hill,” widely regarded as one of the most difficult cross-country courses in the country.
