This property is primarily utilized for hiking. Arthur Kunz County Park features tidal creeks, a lush, mixed deciduous forest, rolling hills and valleys, and quaint hidden ponds all of which provide important habitat for wildlife. The trail system in the park provides a scenic link in a section of the Long Island Greenbelt Trail, which heads north from Arthur Kunz Park to its terminus at Sunken Meadow State Park. 2 Berkley Jackson County Park 245 Manor Road, Huntington Is an 130-acre hiking area with a hilly terrain.

  • Section Vii Public Access Policies #19-20 & Recreation
    SECTION VII PUBLIC ACCESS POLICIES #19-20 & RECREATION POLICIES #9, #21 & 22 Town of East Hampton LWRP Public Access and Recreation Policies #9 &19-22 A. INTRODUCTION Public access to the water and the recreation activity it affords is critical to East Hampton Town's resort economy. The tourist, second home and real estate industries stem directly from the attractions of coastal recreation, which takes place on public beaches and in public waters. Fishing, boating and the myriad of other activities are supported by an array of local enterprises, marina and charter boat operations, boat rentals, fishing tackle and sporting goods shops, which depend on the ecology, natural bounty and scenic beauty of public coastal resources. Maintaining water quality, fisheries productivity, beaches, wetlands, etc. are vital not only for the intrinsic value of the resources, but also for their ripple effect through the economy. The value of public access and coastal recreation goes beyond their economic worth -- it is the primary incentive for visiting and living in East Hampton. Coastal based recreation goes on in every reach of the Town's coastal zone, from passive, non- consumptive pastimes like photography and nature walks, to active, consumptive uses like fishing and hunting. The coast is not only a setting for active recreation, the harmony of nature and vistas of open space are themselves re-creation and relaxation for the mind, healing balm for the frenetic pace of life. The sea and its proximity, the inlets, bays, beaches and marshes attract the eye with unbroken expanses, infusing the spirit. While this LWRP section examines public access and recreational infrastructure, it is important to recall the visual and scenic context of these facilities and their tangible benefits to quality of life.

  • Town of East Hampton Section VIII. Historic Resources Policy
    SECTION VIII HISTORIC RESOURCES POLICY #23 Town of East Hampton LWRP Historic Resources Policy #23 A. INTRODUCTION History shapes a community in subtle ways, colors the assumptions of community life, enriches and enlivens the sense of place for residents and visitors alike. Historic and cultural resources are the touchstones of tradition. They can be housed in museums, monuments and structures, but the real keys to continuity with the past, and the underpinnings of a viable future, are a community's awareness of its cultural history. The Inventory, Analysis and Historic Resource Policy #23 that follow are intended to promote an ethic of respect for the past, impress the need for study and quality information, and instill pride in the community's cultural and historic resources. In 1998 East Hampton Town celebrates the 350th anniversary of its founding by English settlers, the historical mainstream of present society. There have been other streams too, aboriginal settlements that date to thousands of years B.C., a heritage that left its mark in the Indian place names that abound in the community, and the wealth of archaeological sites the Town struggles to protect from pervasive development. Buildings and structures remind us of the colonial era; only the subtleties of the archaeological record and the oral history of native descendants remains to preserve aboriginal history. Since colonial times the Town has participated in several of the great tides of American history in its journey from a subsistence agricultural and fishing community to a premier coastal resort. The country's military history was acted out here beginning with the American Revolution.

  • Town of East Hampton Section IX. Scenic Resources Policies #24-25
    SECTION IX SCENIC RESOURCES POLICIES #24-25 Town of East Hampton LWRP Scenic Resources Policies #24-25 A. INTRODUCTION The Town of East Hampton has an extraordinary endowment of coastal scenery, vistas of the slender isthmus of Napeague stretching to Hither Hills, soft-edged coastal ponds, sinuous saltmarsh shorelines, puffs of spring shad bloom undulating over Montauk's moorlands, towering hoodoo ocean bluffs west of Montauk Point. The visual quality of the coast is part of the Town's natural wealth and its cultural heritage. Panoramic views of the water and esthetic issues are important not only because they deeply affect the way people feel about living in the community, but because scenic values play a vital part in attracting visitors, residents, and businesses to East Hampton. Certain esthetic values are deeply embedded in our culture and value systems, among them the passion for visual proximity to the water. Like people everywhere, East Hampton's residents have grown accustomed to their surroundings and tend to lose sight of the visual glory amidst their lives. Too often scenic resources are taken for granted and given short shrift until spectacular views have been marred by inappropriate development, dunescapes cluttered with boxy condominium rooflines, or the lines of dunes and bluffs broken by multi-storied homes thrust skyward for water views. With its untreed openness, the visual integrity of the Atlantic Ocean shore is easily disrupted and the most vulnerable to impairment from development. The scenery of the more wooded Peconic Estuary coast is more forgiving and in places can better conceal residential construction.

Follow-up report: The most interesting aspect of this trip is in observing the rather small but continuous change in ecological zonation (that is, the transition from fresh to salt water) and the very tidal nature of the river.

  • Town of East Hampton Section I. Coastal Area Boundary
    SECTION I COASTAL AREA BOUNDARY Town of East Hampton LWRP Coastal Area Boundary I. COASTAL AREA BOUNDARY The New York State, Department of State established the boundary of the State's coastal area in 1981, as part of the Federal approval of the State Program. This boundary set the inland limit of the coastal area within all coastal municipalities. The coastal area land boundary in the Town of East Hampton is illustrated on Map I-1 and extends as follows: The State boundary starts at the intersection of the Southampton-East Hampton Town Line with the Sag Harbor Village Line on Town Road. The boundary follows the Village line east to its intersection with the East Hampton - Sag Harbor Turnpike, NY Route 114. The Town of East Hampton coastal boundary continues along the Sag Harbor Village Line until it intersects with the shoreline of Sag Harbor Bay. The Village of Sag Harbor is not included within the Town of East Hampton LWRP. The boundary follows the East Hampton - Sag Harbor Turnpike in a southeasterly direction to its intersection with Swamp Road. It follows Swamp Road in a northeasterly direction to its intersection with Northwest Landing Road and Phoebe Scoys Road. The boundary then runs northeast along Phoebe Scoys Road to its intersection with Mile Hill Road.
