Great park, lots of trails. Very well maintained. Even when the parking its full, not many chances to bump into someone while biking

If you live within 10 min of this trail, it is a good place to get a decent ride/workout in, mostly flat terrain. Nothing special yet much safer the riding on the streets

Great bike trails, very narrow though so if you are claustrophobic, I do not recommend.Lovely smell of pine, reminds me of xmas, throughout the trails. My husband and I had so much fun. Also, not too many people like Belmont.

My husband and kids belong to Edgewood Flyers and use the field here. Its a beautiful preserve with great trails. Most people like to ride bicycles or walk their dogs here. You do need a permit and I recommend bug spray for ticks.

Great places to walk. My first time there, no signs visible. Went to the right, walked a cement trail to the end, turned around and walked it back. Would have liked a big circle to walk instead.

It was so nice to go for a short walk and see wildlife and hear all the birds. There were people flying planes and riding their bike. It felt like we got out of long island momentarily.

Beautiful little preserve. Wonderful to spend an hour or so running through the myriad of trails getting lost and being found again

Nice preserve . Dont forget to get your free parking permit and land use permit. Nice place to get your steps in . A lot of Geocaches in park .

Not quite the best season to appreciate whats sure to be much better when winters done. Even so, relaxing and enjoyable walk around the park. Looks like great bike trails to explore later.

A beautiful example of pine gardens and open fields. Hiking and biking trails, ruins in the Eastern side of once the largest psychiatric hospital in the country. Access by permit, free online from the NYS DEC.

45 min from NYC, pure bliss of walking or bike riding in wonderfully smelling forest. You can find a good mushrooms here too. Not crowded. No large animals (dogs mostly on leashes)

Nice picnic area with walking and bike trails. Some are paved. The radio controlled planes and drones flying around are kind of annoying if your looking for peace and quiet but they can be entertaining to watch. If you bring your dog be sure to check for ticks they are abundant.

Love this mtb trail network. Has a little bit of everything from some slo-go trails to fast flowly to technical. Can do an easy loop or go for a tiring trip taking on all 13 segments. Never see hikers or dog walkers on these mtb trails and you always feel one with nature.

This place does not even exit. I went to hike expecting a great experience as the reviews state it is wonderful for hiking with your dog. Upon arrival, I was shocked to see that the trail was non existent. As far dogs, there was none, there was only a missing dog flying hanging on nearby pole. I do not recommend this trail for hiking.

Review №34

I liked the place better when it had an abandoned hospital building on the property that we explored and vandalized when we were kids.

Review №35

I went when it was snowing and this place was BEAUTIFUL! My boyfriend and I brought our dog with us and he loved it as well. I got some really great photos and not I can not wait to go back once the plants and trees and flowers start blooming. I do believe though you have to pay for parking when season is coming up but in the winter no payment is required to park.

Pretty big place. Wear a helmet. Take the dog. Couple of tables under a shelter. Nice. Get the permit. Explore. Sub trails off of main loop. Some specific trails for foot traffic only. Good parking. It would take a few days to see everything.

What a great place for a quick hike, or to fly your model airplane, drone or whatever!. Open field and windsock has all the right conditions. Lots of birds and tree and paths for walking.

Love this place .. the more times I go w my best furry friend!! So many paths for walking, jogging, bike trails. Open field or wooded area for miles! The only negative no pond/lake!

Review №51

Absolutely huge place to ride and ride and ride my bike, in the winter its the best because ticks arent too bad but in the summer be careful because they are everywhere. There are so many trails to have fun to ride on and can be challenge at times, but mostly just fun woodland coasting. Also dont go the day or maybe the two after the rain or the snow because when we went we got stuck on a two kilometer stretch of the pure mud which was messy and not so much fun.

Review №52

Good place for a bike ride along the right side of the trail, during the summer you can watch people fly small dromes

Review №57

Great trail system typical of long island. Around 14.5 miles of main trail and single track off shoots. 12 off shoots in total with some being really short and the last 2 being pretty long. Difficulty of trails is minimal, but some are new and still semi soft. Also there are barely any down hills so theres no rest time. There is also old train tracks in there. Huge improvement from what it was. Not much elevation change but lots of twists and turns. Great for speed demons and cornering freaks. Again typical LI XC. If you arent in it for the exercise then this place isnt for you. There are ticks here and foxes.

Review №58

Ive been hiking here for years. Now it is very fancy, with paved parking and real parking spots. The hard wood tree leaf color is fabulous in the fall. In some areas, the pine trees have crowded out hard wood trees. The short native pine trees are common to other of Long Islands famous Pine Barrens.I only wish I had more time to hike here.

Absolutely a hidden treasure of long island.amazing 5 miles tracks spreading in several directions. Located in the middle of 4 separate towns and f ok mpletly isolated. Beautiful wild life to spot and spectuatular bird watch. The drone/RC plane take off area is a bonus all on its own.

Ever expanding bike trails built and maintained by Concerned Long Island Mountain Bicyclists (CLIMB), from beginner trails to some more skilled sections (6 and 8, especially); hiking trails; model airplane club; some decent birdwatching (Whip-poor-wills, Sharp-Shinned Hawk, robins, catbirds...).
