Thursday May 25, 2023. 9 AM. Fresh Pond Bell Estate Loop (5 miles)
This hike takes us through the woods around the Fresh Pond in Amagansett, on the Paumanok Path
between a few houses of the Bell Estate, a bit of a walk along Barnes Hole Road with a rest stop at
The Barnes Landing Association Meeting House and then a bay beach walk to the Bell Estate Dock
and return to Fresh Pond inlet beach. The hike is at a slow to moderate pace, with lots of stops for a
bit of history. There are a few steep hills & full exposure on the beach walk. At the very end, hikers
may need to take their shoes off; convert pants from long to short in crossing the shallow Fresh Pond inlet. Wear hiking shoes, shorts or convertible hiking pants. Bring Insect repellent, sunscreen/hat and water. Meet at the Fresh Pond Parking Lot. If you wish to eliminate the beach walk, carpool and leave a car at the Barnes Landing Bay Beach parking lot. (East Hampton Town Parking Sticker required at both parking lots).
