I drove past there couple of times but I though that the parking was only for the beaches, never realized they had any trails there. Can you give me some more info about it or maybe you have some pictures? Sounds interesting and I may go down there one day. Thanks for sharing Beano  | |

| Well.... Me, my husband and a friend of ours did hike the Mt. Tammany on Sunday and got soaked The whole thing in reverse (blue trail and then red dot trail) took us about two hours - we had to go slow in the rain, especially down those steeper sections of the red dot trail. We also took some long picture stops in the beginning (before the rain started). We didn't stop at the view point though  |

Well the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Preserve is part of the Gateway National Recreation Area which encompasses parts of South Queens, South Brooklyn, Staten Island and Sandy Hook, NJ. I live near the Queens and Brooklyn sections and often mountain bike through Riis Park and Fort Tilden on the Rockaway Peninsula and their greenways in Brooklyn. The signs you saw are probably for the above (Flatbush Ave. Exit 11s on the Belt.) What I'm talking about is still part of the GNRA but lies east of all the above between Howard Beach and Broad Channel on Cross Bay Blvd (Exit 17S on the Belt.) There are two main loops at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. The west pond trail is an easy hour hike with plenty of birding to be had. The east pond trail is a bit trickier as you hike on the mud flats of the pond. In late September they raise the water level on the east pond, so If you want to hike the east loop this year you have to hurry up. I ride my bike up there and hike both loops about once a week. If you and your hubby go sometime soon, let me know and I'll try to meet up with you two. Bring binoculars if you have them! As far as pictures go? ....you're lucky that I'm a shutterbug. Here are some pictures I've uploaded.
