Long Pond Greenbelt Nature Preserve Hike

A 3.3 mile loop, moderately paced, mostly flat, on the Long Pond Greenbelt Nature Preserve between Sag Harbor and Bridgehampton. The hike takes you along shady woodland paths and around a series of freshwater ponds including Long Pond. A hike here feels like stepping into a tranquil, watery landscape that highlights the natural beauty of eastern Long Island. While driving North on Main Street approaching the intersection of  MainStreet and Jermain Avenue in Sag Harbor from the direction of the Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike (heading towards Otter Pond) stop at the secondary dirt parking lot of Mashashimuet park on the right handside of the road. While heading north on Main Street, parking lot is before the gas station on the left side of the road and the main entrance to the park on the right side of the road (main entrance has a sign over it with Mashashimuet park written over the road) and the pickle ball courts also on the right side of the road.
