Anyone
interested in off-road bicycling must visit Montauk's Hither Woods.
Located at the western edge of the village, and running to the beginning
of the Napeague Stretch, Hither Woods is over 3,000 acres of diverse
oak woods, grass lands, walking dunes and sandy beaches. Hither
Woods is a priceless natural resource, offering hikers and bikers
year round access to unspoiled nature.
Our rides will access the best of Hither Wood’s nature with
rambles through the dense oak and mountain laurel of Rod’s
Valley and Redmond’s Path. At the Fort Pond Bay Overlook you
will be treated to the spectacular views of Culloden Point and Fort
Pond Bay where the Amistad came ashore in 1839.
On the Coastal Trail, a narrow single track path which traverses
Block Island Sound, immerse your feet into the warm waters of Lawsons
beach and view the handlebars for the impressive view through “The
Keyhole” a masterpiece notch carved out by the last ice age.
Tighten your seatbelts on the Stephen Talkhouse Path, a narrow
single-track trail which meanders in a rollercoaster fashion for
about four miles along the north shore of Hither Woods. It passes
the Indian House ruins believed to be the dwelling of Stephen Talkhouse
Pond before culminating at the Nominicks Overlook, a vantage point
with views of Napeague Harbor and Gardiners Island.
