Twin Lakes Preserve, Wantagh NY

I've hiked twin lakes preserve, 4 times, 2 times I was with friends that didn't want to hike the whole thing and 2 times I hiked the whole trail alone. It's a pretty little preserve that meets my standard hiking qualifications. A body of water is present (in this case two), when I'm on the trail if no one else is around I feel like I've gotten lost in the woods and escaped the hustle of LI. Those are my two hiking qualifications. This trail is not too long about a mile and a half I think. Nice if you want to get a quick hike in. I've been trying for a hike once a week recently but this coming month I might not get in one a week, I'll have to get back to that schedule in January even though it will be cold out. Twin lakes is one of my favorite Nassau hikes so far.

Calm, relatively small.nice for fishing and taking a small walk if you’re a local.not worth coming out of your way for, especially more than once.beautiful lakes although they are more of drainage ponds and quite disgusting.

Worked hard picking up litter.it looks better.next steps get rid of the lilly pads chocking the pond

Disappointing! Noisy from the highway and side streets. Trails not clear. No easy to figure out how to enter the Preserve!

This place is amazing. I like the fog above the water. Very few places I noticed it. Nice place for the local area for refreshments.

Beautiful nature trail hidden in plain sight. Located near the intersection of Sunrise Highway and the Wantagh Parkway; just blocks from the Belmore train station. Very relaxing with no steep hills and many opportunities for spotting wildlife and photographing nature. There are no restrooms, and dogs are not allowed. Parking is along the local streets. Definitely worth the trip!

I love this place. It is always a great place for a good walk. I like coming here in the early spring and late fall the most. I love how quiet it is along the water. You can find a lot of trash sometimes which is shame but they keep it pretty clean. There is not much parking but you can find some street parking. It is a treat when it snows too come here and near sunset, every thing just looks great.

Clean. Not the best park to escape the sound of civilization, but still a nice place to be amongst nature.

Beautiful Lake we went there and spend a nice day we dance we eat we sing this place is super safe it was a lot of people and also pets, is a family lake.

Beautiful lake to go for walks
Now that's about it.
It Also used to be a great place to go fishing, (FOR A LONG TIME), after a hard day of work,
But unfortunately the pond is not maintained
(by anyone!
Town Of hamstead.
N. Y state, or N. Y conservation of waterways

And do to hotter and hotter summers the vegetation gets extremely overgrown

Beautiful nature walk, but I wish it was cleaned up a bit. Like there's tooo much algae/bacteria floating in the water making it look gross.

One of my favorite nature preserves on Long Island has a lot of unique animals there well that run through there.

Great place to walk and relax, says no dogs allowed but people still walk their dogs there

So serene! Great walk to kill an hr. The paths are well marked. Just watch the roots they are easy to trip on. And you will need to have balance in a couple of places. Definatly worth a quick trip. Some fishing too and I didn't see one patch of poison ivy!
