Walking Dunes Hike
Saturday, December 6, 2025 at 11:00 am
Hither Hills State Park, Montauk

Led by Horticulturist Vicki Bustamante
Co-listed with Third House Nature Center, Inc. and the Long Island Botanical Society
Walk the walking dunes at Hither Hills State Park. These unique 80’ high parabolic dunes, created by strong northwesterly shifting winds, are slowly marching southeastward covering all in their path. Passing through a maritime pitch pine woodland we will see signs of the Phantom forest. Cradled in the dunes are bogs which are host to many rare and unusual plants. The brackish meadows and interdunal swales shelter many interesting botanical treats which we will be sure to highlight.
