Hempstead Harbor Shoreline Park

"Nice trail. Many benches and gazebos along the trail. Plenty of shaded and sunny areas."

"A 4 - mile out and back trail along the waterfront, however the trail is through the woods with gazebo stops to look out to the water. Tons of bunnies, fiddler crabs, an Osprey, and geese. Easy, flat and well maintained although a little buggy."

"Great place to take a break from beach and get a run in. Some of it is shaded when I ran at noon on a day when it was 70. Was perfect escape of mulch, wood chip, and mixed gravel. Stops along the way have benches or little gazebos with views of the water from many spots. So quiet and nice. Took running stroller on it and was great! Make sure you have a all terrain one!"

"Nicely done trail along the bay. Walked on cold Dec weekend, very few people on the trail and nearly empty beach parking lot. Part of the lot was flooded."

"Closed due to storm damage. Storm was more than almost 2 months ago. Hope they don't give up on it like Nassau has done to the Welwyn preserve (Nassau county Holocaust memorial and tolerance center) in Glen Cove. Those paths are almost impassable during summer months. There was a tree actually blocking the path two weeks ago making it impassable."
