Welcome to Greenport
Greenport Conservation Area is a great place for a walk. You don’t need any special gear to take advantage of more than seven miles of trails, though we do suggest bringing water and snacks, wearing sunscreen, and checking for ticks! Most of the trails are flat, and there are plenty of shortcuts for turning around and heading back to the parking lot if you decide your day is done.
The outdoors is for everyone
If you experience discrimination or harassment while hiking, please let CLC know.
