The Kings Park boardwalk follows Long Island Sound for three-quarters of a mile. Here’s where to start and what to check before you go.
A walk along the Sound at Sunken Meadow State Park in Kings Park can be as short as you like. New York State Parks lists a three-quarter-mile boardwalk. Walking it end to end and back is about 1.5 miles. Look across the water toward Connecticut on a clear day.
Use the park map to find the beach by Field 1 and pick up the boardwalk. Sunken Meadow is also the northern end of the Long Island Greenbelt Trail if you want a longer walk.
State Parks lists boardwalk walking from sunrise to sunset year-round. Leave time to get back to the lot before sunset. The published fall vehicle fee schedule ended November 8. Check the park’s current parking information or call 631-269-4333 before visiting. The park lists a year-round pet restriction.
