A Walk Outside: Village of Quogue Wetlands Preserve

Each week James Lane Post will highlight a different spot to explore outdoors on the East End in our series “A Walk Outside.” This week: Quogue’s Wetlands Preserve.

The Village of Quogue Wetlands Preserve is nestled away on the north side of the picturesque Dune Road. The wooden boardwalk leads to 360 degree views of beauty, perfect for observing wildlife on this 66-acre preserve. You’ll find bird and waterfowl watching, a great spot for nature photography, and a perfect place to just unwind. The location is also used for educational and research projects.

There are no pets, litter, fishing or hunting allowed and visitors must stay on the boardwalk.
