Hiking
You won’t find any hills, but there are some pretty walks, most of which are short and easy enough to bring along even little kids. A few can be found under “Local Places of Interest” on the Southold Town website. Another good one is at the North Fork Audubon Society on the North Road in Greenport. |

When one crosses on to the peninsula called the North Fork, there is an immediate sense of having moved back in time, to a period when Long Island was rural and bucolic, not suburban and frenetic.
