History

Trail View State Park occupies the former right-of-way for the proposed northern extension of the Bethpage State Parkway and Caumsett State Parkway, on land acquired by New York State in the 1960s. Formerly under the management of the New York State Department of Transportation, the parcel was opened as a state park in September 2002.[3]

In late 2012 or early 2013, the paved, multi-use Bethpage Bikeway was extended through Trail View State Park.[5]

Description

The 7.4-mile-long (11.9 km) linear park connects Bethpage State Park and Cold Spring Harbor State Park,[3] covering an area of 454 acres (1.84 km2).[2] It contains a portion of the Nassau/Suffolk Greenbelt Trail, in addition to a portion of the Bethpage Bikeway. The park offers hiking and biking, a nature trail, a bridle path, bird watching, and cross-country skiing.[1][5]
