Known for its extensive boardwalk system that goes through forests, fields, and wetlands, Stony Brook offers up-close views of wildlife above and under the water. Located adjacent to the 140-acre Bristol Blake State Reservation and cooperatively managed with the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), this former 18th-century mill site now supports native wildlife.

The AllTrails website has a description and map of a hike at Stony Brook Wildlife Sanctuary.
