Benches at Cutting Arboretum

It seems all the benches are endowed, such as this Denis M. Platt, at the park.

Bayard Cutting Arboretum, 2020


440 Montauk Hwy
Great River, NY 11739

This state park on Connetquot River, is on my fave list. My nick name for it is bench park for many endowed benches scattered around the water. Breezy Island is lovely.

~ Dec 2021,

The Hidden Oak Cafe is not ‘go as you will’ because of her popularity: there is a line even at 2:35. Ok, it’s a gorgeous Friday … I thought we could have coffee there after lunch, looking out to the expansive lawn and the Connetquot River.

 

Some scenes at the park

… and a few photos

 

Afterward, we visited Captree State Park and Fire Island Lighthouse.

Fire Island Lighthouse

The lighthouse is a little hike from the parking lot but is easy. More info on the Island.

 

The sunset is lovely

After the sunset, we saw two deers – they use them to control ticks.

The sunset and the moonrise

Happy Mid Autumn Festival 中秋节快乐 🎑. How many moon cakes did you eat, for the month?

Today the sun set at 6:36 and the full moon set at 5:05pm in New York. We stayed in the park as late as we could – till the ranger came.
