Caumsett State Historic Park Preserve

We drove here while visiting Long Island from Delaware as we were looking for some nature. Caumset has a 3 mile paved walking path that is really nice. It takes you to the main house with views of the Long Island Sound. You can walk or bike it. There are restrooms available at the beginning/end as well as near the halfway point. We saw some birds, various butterflies, and dragonflies. There is also a cafe near the parking lot. The one area we felt was underwhelming was the walled garden. There are some nice plants but there is a lot of grass and we felt it was just okay. Still, the overall experience was fun.

What adjectives can be used that haven’t been b4 ? Stunning, gorgeous, fantastic, beautiful and you’ll end up with the treat of a beach ( a rocky beach ) , but fun nonetheless. The grounds are spectacular and they even have a cafe on sight. I definitely recommend for your biking , walking , relaxing needs

I am not exaggerating when I say this is one of my most favorite places on the earth. From Milan to Jamaica, there isn't anywhere I'd rather be. Yes it's a long walk, I would say between beginner to intermediate ability. You can choose to stay on the paved portion which is a 3 mile round trip or venture off into the leas traversed trails. The whole loop being about 7ish miles.

It is not suitable for those with mobility issues. Pets are not allowed, unless your pet is a horse. Caumsette offers a number of bridal paths and horses who I believe live at caumsette. I never thought I'd be jealous of a horse, tlll now. That being said I am not a horse person and I don't know any of the particulars regarding riding there or boarding or whatever.

I saw some other comments about how this place is boring. I would suggest if you're bored it's probably because you're boring. I know golf isn't as exciting as hockey, unless you are a fan. Don't like it here? Good! Peace and quiet for the rest of us.

It gets busy!!! You want to come here on a weekend? If it's after 8am I wouldn't even bother. Early bird and all etc... Get that worm!! Show up before 8 and you're half way through the hike before the proletariat is even roused from bed. I usually go early during the week for a more secluded and peaceful constitutional.

Get that empire pass and go as much as you want.

Beautiful Park but WARNING!
It is a beautiful and clean park. Half an hour walk to water front where you meet fishermans. Water I s super clean and beach is clean and pleasant as well. You may want to bring your bug spray with you because there are aggressive tinny biting flies. WARNING! There is large Tick in this park. I got bitten by one of it. It was very hard to remove it from your body. Not a very pleasant experience. So be very careful not to brush off the trees and bushes. Also, no dogs allowed. No swimming allowed. So keep this in mind. Otherwise it is a great walking park if you are near by it.

Absolutely stunning, beautiful views, nice trails, well kept and clean. Restrooms along the way. Great place to walk and just relax. You can also view the horses along the fence line. There is no food or drinks, so you have to bring your own, take trash with you when leave or put it in garbage 🗑️ cans. Had to pay $8.00for parking if you don't live there, but it's worth it. And you cannot bring pets, which I agree with.
