Hempstead Lake State Park


Eagle Ave.
West Hempstead, NY 11552

The lake of this 737 acres state park is man made! Surprisingly, there are many garbage cans – I thought by now, most parks are carry in and carry out. We didn’t stay long. When we got to the parking lot, the sun came out.

Belmont Lake State Park


625 Belmont Ave.
West Babylon, NY 11704

It’s a cloudy day, the colors are not as vivid, unfortunately.

This 463 acre park was owned by August Belmont (1813-90), the German-American financier and the founder of the Belmont Stakes, third leg of the Triple Crown of American Thoroughbred horse racing.
