Humes Preserve

Nature preserve

👍👍 This is a relatively new and well-hidden park / preserve. The main entrance is from Glen Cove Oyster Bay road. The sign at the entrance is fairly small, and it will be difficult to see until the last moment when you come from the south. A narrow paved road leads to a gravel parking lot for about a d...

Hope Goddard Iselin Preserve

Nature preserve

👍👍 The parking lot at the entrance to this park is quite small, with space for around 5-6 cars maximum, so turn up early. That being said, the loop trails within this park are all well maintained and the trails are amply signed. There are two loops, one going through a meadow and another through a pine...

Fairchild Wildflower Sanctuary

Nature preserve

👍👍 Please don't tell anyone about this place. The last little corner of publicly accessible, free and quiet place in Greenwich. Simple but wonderful trails. Great diversity of landscape and vegetation. The parking lot only accommodates perhaps 8 cars or so and only saw it full once in 5 years+. Trail...
