**This Meetup is part of our** **[Friendsgiving Weekend in Montauk](https://4142298.xyz/turn-up-the-heat/events/304405626/?eventOrigin=group_featured_event)** 😆

This is a standalone event. You can still join us even if you're not staying for the weekend.

**About this Meetup:** We'll take a hike at Shadmoor State Park.

**About the park:** Ninety-nine acre Shadmoor State Park, located one quarter-mile east of Montauk Village, features more than 2,400 feet of ocean beach accessed by two stairways. The park, named for its open, rolling geography and the shadbush that grows there, also has bluffs, freshwater wetlands that are part of the preserve, hiking trails and elevated platforms for birdwatching and enjoying the shoreline views. Visitors may picnic and saltwater fish.

The park's foliage includes black cherry trees and clusters of the rare and federally-endangered sand plain gerardia plant. Of historical note, two concrete bunkers, erected during World War II and once equipped with artillery guns to protect the coast from enemy invasion, remain on the property. Shadmoor does not charge for parking.
