Welcome to the Paul Stoutenburgh Preserve, a natural haven located at 63455 Main Road, Southold, New York. Spanning 52 acres, this remarkable park, formerly known as the Arshamomaque Pond Preserve, is a testament to the conservation efforts of the Town of Southold, supported by the Community Preservation Fund and Open Space Capital funds. With the invaluable assistance of the Trust, the town acquired 24.8 acres from the Sutermeister and Neuer families in 2000, enriching the preserve with over a third of a mile of picturesque land along Hashamomuck Pond. The Paul Stoutenburgh Preserve is a showcase of the East End's rich natural diversity, featuring tidal salt marsh meadows, pristine woodlands, and vernal freshwater ponds and wetlands. Its lush forest lands are home to a variety of trees, including oaks, hickories, birches, maples, American beech, and mature white pines. This diverse ecosystem supports a wide array of wildlife, such as egrets, salamanders, herons, hawks, crabs, deer, bats, and foxes.
