Pine Neck Avenue boat ramp and fishing pier are on the south shore of Long Island's East Patchogue, NY. Accessible by the Swan River and Pine Neck Ave, this is a main boat access ramp off the Swan River inlet, connecting the Patchogue Bay and Great South Bay, in south central Long Island.
Pine Neck is approximately 400 yards east of the Village of Patchogue, located on the south eastern corner of the Swan River inlet and Patchogue Bay. It is an undeveloped Park in the Township of Brookhaven, Suffolk County, NY. Boaters travel from Blue Point, on the western-most tip of Patchogue Bay, to Howell's Point, on the eastern side of Bay. Seasonal permits are required for residents to launch their boats. The park can accommodate around 50 cars and trucks.
Pine Neck Avenue Park is on the central shore of Patchogue Bay, and is due north of Watch hill and Davis Park. The Fire Island National Seashore is one of the Barrier Islands and is a recreational destination for many south shore boaters.
The Park offers a natural beach, fishing pier, two boat ramps, and an adjacent undeveloped shoreline called "40 acres". Pine Neck gives residents and visitors alike access and scenic views into Long Island's Great South Bay.
Famous quotes containing the words pine and/or neck:
“The forests are held cheap after the white pine has been culled out; and the explorers and hunters pray for rain only to clear the atmosphere of smoke.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If with light head erect I sing,
Though all the muses lend their force,
From my poor love of anything,
The verse is weak and shallow as its source.
But if with bended neck I grope,
Listening behind me for my wit,
With faith superior to hope,
More anxious to keep back than forward it,”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
