It’s the perfect time of the season to get outdoors and take
in the beautiful fall scenery in the greater Patchogue area. To get a workout
in while taking in the fall foliage, consider going for a bike rides at one of
the local parks near the New Village. If you don’t know where to start, we have
some suggestions for you below.
Heckscher State Park- Located about 20 minutes west of New
Village, Heckscher State Park offers visitors to a number of activities to
partake in on the park’s grounds. With four miles of paved, the 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. There are also
numerous picnic areas in the park so be sure to pack a lunch or snack for your
break.
Connetquot River State Park Preserve - 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 beautiful views of the river,
wooded areas, and local wildlife. While
on the grounds, 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.
Cathedral Pines County Park – Although higher elevation is a
bit challenging to find on Long Island, the biking course at Cathedral Pines
County Park offers some elevation changes rather than your usual flat-surface
bike loop. The course offers several optional hills, though much of the park is
flat, wooded area. The course is 7.5 miles long if you choose to ride the
hills, or 6 miles if you’d like to stick with the shorter route.
