Sun, Nov 17, 2024, 10:45 AM ESTTackapausha Preserve and Museum
Tackapausha Museum and Preserve, Seaford, NY
Hike is about 4+ miles on mainly flat terrain. Hike is free with an optional visit to the museum afterwards.

Check within an hour before the event for cancellations due to weather.

The Tackapausha Preserve, the first tract of preserve land acquired by Nassau County (in 1938 and originally for drainage purposes), is one of the most popular preserves on the South Shore. Bordered by Merrick Road on the south and Jerusalem Avenue on the north, it provides an opportunity to enjoy a physically and spiritually invigorating hike in a convenient and accessible location.

The preserve itself consists of three sections divided by major roads, with trails that meander through each part. In the southern section, between Merrick Road and Sunrise Highway, the preserve is host to the largest Atlantic White Cedar “stand,” or grouping of trees, in Nassau County, located in a swamp just north of Tackapausha Pond, near Merrick Road.

In the central section, between Sunrise Highway and Clark Avenue, a small, secluded pond draws waterfowl and amphibians. The northern section, between Clark and Jerusalem Avenues, includes a small wetland near Clark.
