This review is from: Short Nature Walks on Long Island, 7th (Short Nature Walks Series) (Paperback)

Not only was the information detailed, but the additional drawings of the paths and the excursion suggestions were exactly what I'd hoped for, maybe even better. I cannot wait to have this book with me the next time I am in New York City, too. I wasted too much time last time trying to figure the things out this author managed to map out for me in this very well done guidebook.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice book..., September 23, 2009

Nice little book with info on different spots to take nature walks. Some I've heard of, some that are new to me. Contains good details on directions, admission prices, maps of the parks/preserves etc., and the compact size makes it easy to take along so it can be referred to.
