Confirmed from Blue Point Nature Preserve's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Nature preserve featuring trails for walking, jogging, and biking, as well as picnic areas.
What runners say about Blue Point Nature Preserve
“Lovely park with a gorgeous walking trail, picnic areas, a playground and more.”
“Tranquil, calming, surprisingly quiet (as long as the LIRR) doesn't pass by.”
A nice, local place to be with nature. A series of walks is available for exercise and dog walking. You never know which of your neighbors you might meet... The preserve is host to a Monarch butterfly "waystation," as well as lots of local trees and fauna
I absolutely love this place it's quiet it's beautiful there's a cement walkway it's about a half a mile maybe a little bit more it goes around the park I do 2 1/4 miles a day so I go around four times.
Wanna walk in nature? Wanna do it alone in a safe environment? Look no further than the Blue Point Nature Preserve. It's also safe for children to bike ride. In fact, the library also has a story along the path for young children to read and walk. Great for birding, too!
Very nice place, hidden within this wonderful community. Tranquil, calming, surprisingly quiet (as long as the LIRR) doesn't pass by. Why not five stars? Because it was once pet friendly, you could walk your dog here. But now it's "no pets allowed." This kinda changes things for me.

“dogs are not allowed 😉 but since they can't read a lot of well behaved ones on a leash”
