About Heckscher State Park

Land along the shore of Great South Bay makes up this 1,600-acre park at East Islip. The acreage runs along the bay's edge, giving the park its waterfront setting. Its size places it among the larger holdings in the state park system on Long Island's south shore.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
