Massapequa Preserve Bethpage Bikeway, Massapequa Park, NY 11762

"Whether you like hiking biking or walking your dog this is a great place to go. There are trails in the woods excellent bike path though can be a little crowded and dangerous if you go fast. But it passes a beautiful stream"

"A great way to spend a few hours walking amidst nature yet not have to worry about tripping - 6.3 miles “there and back” from the parking lot at Mansfield Park over to Massapequa Lake and back. Hardly any elevation - great for a long stroll with the creek giving you company for most of it. Two tricky aspects - a lot of bikers, and the need to cross Sunrise Highway at the traffic light."

"Beautiful trails and nature to spend time in. Bike trails are maintained well, and the dirt hiking trails are clean, and the muddy ones have new wood walkovers. Here's some recent spring photos. I love waking my pup and riding my bike here. Just beware the weekends can become hectic as it is busy in the summer, and many people don't realize how to walk on the right side and it can be frustrating, so get out early in the summer. Here's some spring photos."

"This was an amazing, quiet, peaceful place. So much to do, there's trails, you can bike ride, you can fish. A great place to go even to just take in nature and all the wildlife that was there. The ducks and the swans had their babies they were very people friendly any photographer would love this spot any fisherman would love this spot. Go check it out."

"Hidden green space with walking and biking trails located just off Sunrise between Massapequa and Massapequa Park train stations. There's a small lot to park in. The bikeway follows the creek all the way up to Bethpage. There is also a walking trail that cuts through the woods. Several ponds within the preserve with birds and other wildlife. Pretty nice place for a few hours outdoors without having to drive too far."
