This is a great place to walk and I'm glad it's preserved and not houses. ----$8 is a LOT to ask for parking ----Parking lot is way too far from the beach: over 1/4 mile down a gravel path, some of it steep. Unless you're in good shape, it's a hike. No reason parking couldn't have been closer. ----Dogs not allowed. Really? Even on a leash? ----No trash cans: I pick up trash regularly walking from Iron Pier to Hallock Park and there are NO trash cans on the beach or in the upper parking lot. ----No driving on the beach? People have been driving, with a town permit, from Iron Pier to Levon's FOREVER to fish. Now there's rarely anyone on the Hallock Park part of the shore fishing. ----it's closed two days a week. Why?

Hallock State Park Preserve was a nice hike. Normally there is an $8 parking fee but it is waived during the winter season. There are two parking lots - one at the entrance where the payment kiosk is and one at the trailheads. There were four trails and we initially hiked the Maritime Forest Trail which has several scenic overlooks of the sound and a good view of Hallocks Pond. We then used the Beach Access Trail which descends down to the beach. To return to the parking lot we used the Beach Approach Trail which is covered with crushed rock. Overall an easy hike with some elevation gain when walking from the beach back to the parking lot.

Hallock State Park is a great park. There is a self serve park pass machine in the front lot where you can get your state park pass for the day. You then drive back to the large parking lot in the back where there are hiking trails and then the broad trail down to the beach. It is downhill to the beach and fairly rocky so wear appropriate shoes such as sneakers, hiking shoes, Keens, Tevas, etc. Not a flip flop trail. The beach itself was pretty and somewhat pebbly. Very soothing and a nice beach. Should visit if you're in the area.

This place is a tucked away gem. The gift shop is about 2 years old but a bit wanting for stuff. We went to the parking lot way in the back. There are solar powered parking machines. There is a very hilly trail to the beach. Nobody on the beach or trail. We saw deer tracks but no deer.

It’s hard to find such serene unspoiled beach especially here in New York state. This is hey surreal and peaceful place where not much to do is exactly what I’m looking for. This is a place to unwind and be away from a very busy world.

Nice clean bathroom at visitors center. Well marked trail to pristine Beach. Abundance of wildlife, watch out for aggressive turkeys! Saw birds, toads and a box turtle. At the beach observed ducks and cormorant.
