Camp Hero State Park, State park in Montauk, US

The 754-acre coastal park features coastal bluffs, maritime forests, and trails along the Atlantic Ocean at the eastern tip of Long Island.

Originally commissioned in 1942 as a military installation, Camp Hero served as a coastal defense station during World War II and the Cold War.

The park preserves military structures, including artillery batteries and a radar tower, representing significant defense technology from the mid-20th century.

Visitors can access multiple hiking trails, fishing spots, and picnic areas throughout the park, with entrance fees varying by season and vehicle type.

The distinctive SAGE radar installation, with its 120-foot-wide antenna, remains as one of the few surviving examples of Cold War early warning systems.
