Target Rock National Park (Lloyd Neck, NY)

Target Rock National Park
In July, 2015, I took a trip to Target Rock National Park in Lloyd Neck, NY. It is a beautiful park; much smaller than its neighbor, Caumsett State Park. A short walk from the parking area will bring you to the rocky beach. You may pass some fly-fishers and eventually you will see the magnificent Target Rock. It is a very peaceful and quiet there, since it is a number of miles from Huntington.  
 Looking North towards the LI Sound.

The marine cliffs.

Newly constructed bird-watching platform.  

Abandoned fishing trap.

The actual Target Rock; used for target practice during the Revolution.

 Wood fence marks the end of  the property.

Private dock just north of the property line. 





Very interesting looking rock.
