A variety of ranger-guided hikes and other programs are available this fall and winter at Fire Island National Seashore. For a complete listing of events and programs, see the online Calendar of Events. A few upcoming programs are highlighted below. The Fire Island Wilderness Visitor Center, which is located at the southernmost end of William Floyd Parkway, is hosting several programs from late November through New Year's Day.
Special programs at the Fire Island Lighthouse this holiday season include an annual tree-trimming event, a reenactment of the 1953 flying Santa visit, and several other walks and tours.
The William Floyd Estate has closed for the 2013 season, but guided nature walks and cultural history grounds tours are expected to begin in early 2014. ![]() |
