Montauk State Park
Riverside family camping and trout fishing are the big draws.
The Current River runs through the heart of Montauk State Park, fed by seven springs and flanked by lush woodlands. Head down to the river to fish for rainbow and brown trout, then cook up your catch for a waterfront picnic. Hiking and cycling trails tempt explorers away from the water, where you can peek inside the 19th-century gristmill and spot pine warbler and great blue heron. Montauk Campground is split over three sites, all by the river, with a choice of basic and electric hookup sites. Cabins and spacious family sites are also available.

When to Go
Trout fishing season runs from March through October—outside of this time, it’s catch-and-release only. Springtime is the most picturesque time to hike, when wildflowers bloom along the riverside. Camping is possible year-round, but showers and campground facilities are only available from March through October.
