We spent a Saturday afternoon hiking the Camp Hero trails. We parked near the old radar station which is huge. Took a trail to the bluffs with a great lighthouse view. Then we took The Battery 113 trail which was amazing. There were wooden bridges over creeks on the trail, gently rolling hills and the hike took less than a... More

Been traveling to Montauk for over 30 years. I never knew this was there. It has some great views of the ocean and lighthouse. We were there in time for a beautiful sunset.
