Want to Get Away?...The stillness and quiet of a hike in Connetquot River Preserve is part of the special experience. AND...every once in awhile one is reminded that the 4,000 acre park in the middle of Suffolk County is an oasis in the midst of suburban sprawl. The Islip McArthur Airport borders the park's Northeast boundary, hikkers and fishermen get to check aircraft landing gears up close. :-)
