Walk the Walking Dunes of Hither Hills State Park

Saturday, December 6, 2025, 11:00 am

These unique 80’ high parabolic dunes, created by strong northwesterly shifting winds, are slowly marching southeastward covering all in their path. Passing through a maritime pitch pine woodland we will see signs of the Phantom forest.

Cradled in the dunes are bogs which are host to many rare and unusual plants. The brackish meadows and interdunal swales shelter many interesting botanical treats which we will be sure to highlight.

Rain cancels.

Directions: Follow Montauk Highway, Rt. 27 east through Amagansett village, continue to the east end of the Napeague Stretch, turn left onto Napeague Harbor Road *see Hither Hills Racquet Club on NW corner, follow north to the dead-end, park along the side of the road.

Co-listed with The North Shore Land Alliance, Third House Nature Center & the Long Island Botanical Society.
