What we’re about
East Hampton Trails Preservation Society is a not-for-profit association dedicated to establishment, protection, maintenance, and enjoyment of trails, paths, and natural lands in the Town of East Hampton and throughout New York State. Our activities include weekly guided hikes offered to the public free of charge throughout the year on East Hampton's almost 200 miles of trails. In warmer weather, we also offer opportunities for road cycling, and for paddling by kayak, canoe or SUP around the Hampton's numerous bays and harbors. Volunteer members of EHTPS help in trail planning, mapping and maintenance, as well as educational and social activities. Members enjoy many social events, including a winter holiday party, spring brunch, summer beach picnic, and occasional movable feasts. More information, as well as a link to our membership form, is available on our website.
PLEASE NOTE: Meetup.com not infrequently shows incorrect starting locations for EHTPS activities on its maps, notwithstanding our best efforts to correct. PLEASE FOLLOW WRITTEN DIRECTIONS for where to meet, and contact the activity leader if you have any doubts or questions.
