Dog-Friendly Parks and Adventures in the Great South Bay Area and Beyond From beaches to hiking trails and family-friendly activities, our little island has it all. Fortunately, you don’t have to leave your dog behind. Here are a few dog-friendly summertime hangouts: Argyle Lake Park, Montauk Hwy., Babylon Village Waste bags are available, as well as benches and shady trees. There is also a playground for the little two-legged family members. Belmont Lake State Park, Alicia Drive, N. Babylon Located off exit 38 of Southern State Pkwy., enjoy walking the loop around beautiful Belmont Lake, which measures about ¾ of a mile. Cherry Avenue Dog Park, Cherry Ave., Sayville This dog park has a separate section available for small pups (25 lbs. or less) and also for larger dogs. Gardiner County Park, Montauk Hwy., W. Bay Shore Scenic trails and the beach are available to four-legged friends for a healthy walk, a game of fetch, and dip in the GSB. Hawley’s Lake Dog Park, George Street, Babylon Village Small fenced open play space. Great small dog park. Heckscher State Park, Heckscher State Pkwy., East Islip Take Fido for an exhilarating power walk through undeveloped trails located just west of the park’s toll booths. Pirates Cove/McAllister Park, Harbor Hills, Port Jefferson Dogs must remained leashed, but this is a dog-friendly hidden gem. Trees, hills, water…this place is picture perfect. Sands Point Preserve, Middle Neck Rd., Sands Point This 216 acre preserve has everything including a beach, English style gardens, hiking trails and even a castle! Castle Gould, built in 1904, was modeled after Castle Kilkenny in Ireland. There is a dog park called Charlie’s Run in the foreground of the castle. You and your canine companion can have a little adventure walking the wooded trails past ponds and over stone bridges, while enjoying scenic views.
67 Steps Beach, Sound Rd., Greenport FYI - A Southold Town parking permit is needed to park in the adjacent parking lot. Situated on the North Fork in idyllic Greenport, it’s easy to see why 67 Steps Beach is loved by both dogs and their humans. Its stunning sunsets, giant boulders and crystal blue water are unlike anywhere else on the island. Once the sun sets, head into Greenport Village for some of the most dog friendly-dining. Claudios, Lucharitos and Little Creek Oyster Farm & Market are all great spots to share a meal with your dog. Waterdrinker Farm, Wading River Rd., Manorville A pet-friendly farm with barnyard animals and fun family activities. Their sunflower fields are in full bloom just as you are reading this! Bring your furry friend for a stroll through their sunflower festival, but don’t forget to bring a leash. After you’ve had your fill of flowers, swing by the dog-friendly Long Island Farm Brewery for a cold one! Winery Hop the North Fork Baiting Hollow Farm Vineyard, Palmer Vineyards, RGNY (formerly Martha Clara) and Croteaux Vineyards on the North Fork are all dogfriendly. Some of the wineries offer vineyard dog-walks and even allow dogs inside the tasting room. Even though your dog can’t help you decide which bottles to purchase, rest assured that your tasting experience will be a doggone delight. Rules are made to be changed, so in the current environment of unpredictable and unforeseen circumstances, it's always a good idea to call ahead and confirm information before you head out with your BFF (Best Furry Friend). Remember to always pack a leash, extra poop bags, a water dish and plenty of fresh cool water.
