To view brilliant fall colors without going to New England, try Mashomack Preserve on Shelter Island. With over 2,000 acres of natural area, the preserve spans a variety of plant and animal habitats and offers a spectacular view of changing foliage.
The South Fork History Museum has fun programs this November that bring to life the natural history of the Hamptons. The programs range from children's events to adults-only walks, with topics as diverse as river otters and glacial paths.
We've come a long way from the days when the South Fork was populated mostly by the Montaukett (hence: Montauk) Indians and a few hardy souls.

It's January, the longest the island's most storied ice boater has ever had to wait to break out his beloved world-class racing boat, the DN, or his skeeter, Beetlebaum.

Whether you're a seasoned road racer or a weekend jogger seeking a training goal, there are a number of opportunities to get out and show your stuff. We've compiled a calendar of some of the East End races and fun walks to think about.
One of the most pristine and natural adventures you can take on Long Island is walking along any one of our beaches, especially the sandy, dune laden, barrier island beaches along the south shore. Beside the fact that it is cheap, beachcombing provides an educational and exciting opportunity to discover thousands of aspects of Long Island life right there on a regular old beach.
The South Fork Natural History Museum (SOFO) organizes events year round showcasing the true beauty and wonder of the Hamptons. Here's a list of the nature walks and workshops throughout the winter.
Get together with the Group for the South Fork and discover all the unique and wonderful things that make the Hamptons such a destination. Try a hike or paddle in a canoe or even do a little stargazing. Whatever your fitness level there's something for the entire family!
Upland forest, salt marsh, open fields, brackish and freshwater ponds, a lagoon, and sand and rocky beaches with wooded bluffs presiding over the Peconic and Noyac Bays make up this wonderful place.
The fall 5K Run & Walk, now in its sixth year, attracts a significant number of Shelter Islanders. The competitive aspect of a 'racewalk' is not part of the plan this year.
With runners from Ethiopia to Kenya and Texas to Utah, the Shelter Island 10K welcomes competitors from across the globe. What better way to reach them than via the World Wide Web?
What better way to celebrate spring than by visiting the Spirit of Spring Festival on April 16-17, 2005?
Author and naturalist Mike Bottini has announced his first winter season field course. Work off a few of those holiday cookies and explore the East End.
"There is nothing, absolutely nothing, half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats simply messing." (Kenneth Graham, The Wind in the Willows)
