CAUMSETT STATE PARK Submitted by Chris Visco

• DIRECTIONS: From the village of Huntington, take route 25A west to West Neck Road. Take West Neck Road North until you see the entrance sign for Caumsett State Park. Enter the park, and park in the main lot. Take the trail to the beach which is a two mile walk. Once on the beach, head for the cliffs.

• DESCRIPTION; There are many glacial erratics and the closest thing to an 'outcrop' that can be found on Long Island in a Cretaceous exposure. The two most notable things to be seen are concretions (some up to one foot in diameter) and red shale containing spectacular leaf fossils of magnolia and sassafras.
