The weather is warming up and the sun is out. Now that spring is in
full swing, there’s no better time than now to spend some time outdoors. After
all, May is National Bike Month! Celebrate by checking out some of these nearby
parks for great hiking and biking trails.
Located about 20 minutes west of New Village, Heckscher State
Park offers visitors to a number of acitivites to partake in on the park’s
grounds. The park’s shady picnic groves provide the perfect spot for an
afternoon picnic, and large open fields can be used for various field sports.
Four miles of paved, multi-use trails are great for taking a stroll or riding
your bike. While there, enjoy the beautiful views of the Great South Bay and
Fire Island.
Only a 10 minute drive from New Village in the town of
Bohemia, Connetqout River State Park is another great option to discover new
biking and hiking trails. The preserve offers a three mile, paved loop that
offers views of the river, wooded areas, and local wildlife. You can also
explore the preserve’s restored Hunting Lodge, which was often frequented by
the Roosevelt’s and the Vanderbilt’s in the early 1900s.
Head to Cathedral Pines County Park if you’re looking to
switch things up from your usual bike ride. Located about 10 minutes from your
Bozzuto apartment, this 7.5 mile ride offers off road trails, elevation
changes, and optional hills to give you a true cycling workout.
