Slide Down the Meadow Run Natural Water Slide

Ohiopyle State Park, located in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, is full of adventure along the Youghiogheny River. During your visit, make sure you stop by the Meadow Run natural waterslide for some serious fun. You can park for free at the Meadow Run parking lot, and then take a short walk down a flight of wooden stairs to access the water. The parking lot fills fast, so plan to get there at of...

Kayaking the Nissequogue River

Starting on the banks of Nissequogue River State Park, this 6 mile journey makes you feel like you’re cruising down river in the south, when you’re really on Long Island. I really suggest going as high tide is rolling in as there can be some shallow sections along this trip. Head out into the open water (which is still technically the Long Island Sound) while keeping toward the middle/right sid...

Hike Cove Island Park Loop Trail

This trail is accessible year round and features water views of the Long Island Sound with beach access. The trail is a popular spot for walking, biking, fishing, and even bird watching. But if you’re not quite in the mood to get your steps in, you can use the small beach to sit and chat with a friend or get lost in a book. It’s also a great location to catch the sunset. The path is paved and...

The conservancy has 3 miles of trails, all easy to navigate. Starting out from the visitor's center, take the trail to the right to reach the meadow. After crossing a small bridge, you will turn left, and pass by a Greek Reviv...

Stroll around Fayerweather Island

Parking is at the end of Barnum Road in the Seaside Park. Though the lighthouse grounds are accessible the tower itself is not open to the public. To access the island you must walk across the breakwater. Please use caution as it is uneven footing and at times can be slippery. From the island you can also see Penfield Reef Lighthouse.

Run the Old Croton Aqueduct Trail

This trail traces the route of the Old Croton Aqueduct, which carried water to New York City between 1842 and 1955. Our recommended route starts near the Greystone Station in Yonkers, NY (Metro-North Hudson Line) and ends by the Scarborough Station, but you can easily modify your route – the entire trail extends for roughly 26 miles from Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx to the New Croton Dam in ...
