Nissequogue River - Long Island NY ( from Archive May 2010)


The Nissequogue was a great paddle . As I drove in and then launched I noticed nothing of the old King's Park Mental Hospital in the grounds of the Nissequogue State Park . Coming back the enormous main building and many other buildings loomed ominously in the deserted surrounds.


The broad waters of the river mouth into Long Island Sound were a little hard work , but once on the river heading upstream the paddling was easy.
