For 32 miles, experienced, long-distance hikers only, please, for a traverse of our entire L.I. Trail; hike begins at Field 7, Heckscher St. Pk.; hikers will receive a ride back at the end.
11 mile option starts at the Greenbelt office (see directions at top of schedule) and joins the hikers for the northern third.
5 mile option starts at Smithtown Landing Country Club and completes the upper section.
Shorter, family-friendly 3 mile hike meets at east end of Field 4, Sunken Meadow St. Pk. for a late-afternoon walk along the bluffs, and connects with the long-distance hikers for the final stretch; e-mail or call to register for all hikes and to see how you can help.
