This is a real, climbing-over-rocks, sweat-pouring-out-of-you kind of hike. Especially if you do the labyrinth section, which is an entire section of combined rock-scrambling and spelunking.
This place is gorgeous, and is perfect for both avid hikers or people just looking to hang out by the lake. There’s a parking lot that’s right near a picnic area, a food truck, and a lovely view of the lake. It has miles and miles of trails for you to enjoy.
Here’s a look at our first hike of the season last April. We chose a fairly easy one to start. It’s so easy that you’ll see there are some kids that went and did this hike as well.
I’m taking a break from my latest Cape Cod series to put up a few photos from a visit to Old Westbury Gardens last weekend. There’s not much to say here because I already wrote a post about it five…
Fried clams at PJ’s Family Restaurant, hiking the Atlantic White Cedar Swamp Trail, hanging out at Marconi Beach, and sweets from Chequesett Chocolate and Sweet Escape.

I accidentally picked up hiking as a hobby when I looked up possible day trips out of the city and found an entry on Cold Spring, NY, which included a hike up Bull Hill (not really a hill). One site…
Kykuit is one of the many mansions in the Historic Hudson Valley that are open to the public, and was home to four generations of Rockefellers. The tour includes the rooms of the mansion, but photography isn’t allowed inside so…
For my birthday last year, I wanted to have brunch somewhere with a lovely view, and somehow ended up finding Rat’s Restaurant, which is in/beside Grounds for Sculpture in New Jersey. Definitely a new favorite spot for a day trip…
Located about an hour from Midtown Manhattan by subway and bus (about 30 minutes by car), Wave Hill is a perfect day trip to escape from the city. Despite the fact that the year-round activities available such as family…
One extremely hot summer day at Jones Beach, plus brunch in Amityville (yes, THAT Amityville). Part of my end-of-year photo dump series.
