Key Information |
 Suffolk
County Park says:
Richly forested
hills and valleys at the headwaters of the
Nissequogue River, rowing and fishing on
lovely Stump Pond, casual strolls through an
historic district featuring a grist mill...
These are but a few of the attractions of
Blydenburgh County Park. This 627 acre park is
open year-round to Suffolk County residents
and their guests. Horseback riders may ride or
trailer their mounts to Blydenburgh to utilize
an extensive bridle path system and practice
ring. Trailer parking is available at the
northern (New Mill Road) entrance. Suffolk
County horseback riding permits are required
and must be visibly displayed by all riders.
Freshwater fishing for pumpkinseed sunfish,
large-mouth bass, perch and bluegill is
permitted at Stump Pond between sunrise and
sunset. New York State freshwater fishing laws
apply. Rowboat rentals are generally available
from mid-May to Labor Day. Use the southern
(Veteran's Memorial Hwy) entrance for these
activities. Hikes through Blydenburgh are led
on a regular basis by the Long Island
Greenbelt Trail Conference, whose headquarters
are located in one of the historic district
houses. For a hike schedule, contact the
Greenbelt office at (631)-360-0753.
