Description
NOTE: This trail and Jones Beach Park have been extensively damaged by Hurricane Sandy. Both remain closed indefinitely. Refer to the NY State Parks website for more information.
The Jones Beach Bikeway (also known as the Ellen Farrant Memorial Bikeway) is a paved bicycle and pedestrian path paralleling Wantagh Parkway, which connects Seaford to Jones Beach State Park. There is a fee to park at Cedar Creek Park for non-Nassau County residents on weekends and holidays in summer.
Parking and Trail Access
Take Wantagh Parkway to Merrick Road going east. Follow Merrick Road east for just less than half a mile and the park entrance will be on your right hand side. Park in the first lot on your right hand side and across the field you will see a large rock and an opening in the fence. This is the start of the path.
