Caumsett State Historic Park
I spent a few hours exploring by bike the Caumsett State Historic Park Preserve, a stunning 1,500-acre gem on Long Island’s north shore. The park offers a network of scenic trails — from paved roads and dirt paths to winding single-track routes — that make it perfect for both leisurely rides and deeper exploration. With its equestrian facilities, Caumsett is shared harmoniously by horseback riders, cyclists, and hikers alike. From the bluffs overlooking Long Island Sound, you can see both New York City and Connecticut in the distance, yet riding through the preserve feels worlds away from the suburban pace of Long Island life.
