Route Description
The Loop Parkway begins at an at-grade intersection with Lido Boulevard on the eastern end of Lido Beach in the neighborhood of Point Lookout. The parkway proceeds north as a four-lane divided roadway, crossing over Reynolds Channel, a section of the South Oyster Bay. After crossing Reynolds Channel, the Loop crosses onto Alder Island and into Jones Beach State Park, bending eastward along the marshy island in South Oyster Bay. The only intersection or interchange along the parkway on Alder Island is two U-turn ramps near the western end of the island. The parkway then crosses over South Oyster Bay once again, this time via a drawbridge, crossing onto Meadow Island. After a short northeastern straight on Meadow Island, the Loop Parkway crosses onto the mainland of Nassau County and enters an interchange with the Meadowbrook State Parkway. The eastbound right-of-way crosses over the parkway before turning north and merging into the Meadowbrook northbound lanes.

“A Route of Evanescence
With a revolving Wheel—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“I fancy it must be the quantity of animal food eaten by the English which renders their character insusceptible of civilisation. I suspect it is in their kitchens and not in their churches that their reformation must be worked, and that Missionaries of that description from [France] would avail more than those who should endeavor to tame them by precepts of religion or philosophy.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
