Nissequogue River State Park, State park in Kings Park, New York.
The 521-acre park extends along the banks of the Nissequogue River, featuring tidal wetlands, hardwood forests, and elevated bluffs overlooking Long Island Sound.
The park grounds were established in 2000 on the waterfront section of the former Kings Park Psychiatric Center, which operated until its closure in 1996.
The park includes York Hall, a National Register of Historic Places building that served as the main auditorium for the former psychiatric center.
Visitors can access boat launches, fishing areas, hiking trails, and a marina with seasonal slip rentals from April through November, depending on tide conditions.
Each evening from July to October, more than 100 egrets gather at dusk around the pond and river, selecting their roosting sites for the night.
