From Karina Forrest, Loaves & Fishes Foodstore:
I think the colder months are the best time to hike in the Hamptons. I don’t go deep into the woods unless it’s frozen or snow on the ground — ticks.
Favorite areas: Trout Pond by Bell & Anchor, trails all over North Sea near my place, Mashomack on Shelter Island, and the walking dunes at Hither Hills.
Inside Tip 📌
Cranberry bogs near the dunes are a cool seasonal find — true foraging, first-come.
Search “cranberry bog Montauk,” or ask Charlie Marder if you want the insider route.
