A Fun Dogs Day Out In The Town Of Huntington
The most beautiful (unofficial) dog park on Long Island is located right here in Huntington at Coindre Hall at 101 Browns Rd. Your pup will have a blast romping in the fields, playing on the beach and taking a dip in Huntington harbor. And at the same time, you will get to meet other dog lovers and enjoy one of the most picturesque waterfront settings in the Five Harbors area.
East Northport at Deposit Rd - this park provides shade and benches. Apply for a free dog permit at the Huntington Dog Shelter right next door.
West Hills Dog Park on Sweet Hollow & Round Swamp Rd is a huge 2 mile fenced in area. There is permanent seating, shaded areas, doggy water fountains and even a designated area for small dogs off High Hold Drive. Admission fee and card are required. Call 631-854-4423 for info.
Northport Village is a nice place to stroll with your dog along Main Street and then down to the waterside park. You'll encounter other doggie friends and there's even a water bowl by the Northport Dock.
For another scenic workout for you and your (leashed) dog, go on the Walt Whitman Trail (38-42 Reservoir Rd, Huntington). This 4.25 mile hike will take about 2 hours to complete. It's mostly flat aside from the moderate climb to Jayne's Hill. At 400 ft above sea level, it's the highest point on Long Island!
*Bonus- Heckscher Park in Huntington now allows leashed dogs to enjoy a stroll of the park with their own.
