Nice small park for a quick afternoon walk. Parking is limited and you do have to pay 8 dollars, but its worth it for a pleasant family outing.

Went there to explore the trails which were admirably well-marked. The highlight though is the lovely pond/bridge/gazebo area. Also as with the admission fee parks, the machines seem to malfunction or are no longer scanning drivers licenses for 62+ seniors. Having to pay the $8.00 fee is unfortunately a hardship for some and will discourage another visit.

Great trails if you are looking to got for a walk. All the trails are well marked and easy to follow for anyone. Trails are of varying distance. I love that there is an accessible trail!The small museum on the property has some local history and Flora and fauna exhibits. This is a park worth returning to.

Caleb Smith SP is one of the most scenic and quiet parks on LI which is great since it allows for peaceful walks around the various trails. There is a nice pond near the entrance as well as a museum showcasing the different species of wildlife that reside in the park. It is beautiful throughout the entire year however autumn is by far the best since the maple trees show brilliant shades of red and yellow. There are also tall pines and a quaint stream that runs through the park. Such a great place to unwind and get away for a few hours!

Meh!Other than seeing a half dozen white tail deer youre better off staying on the Greenbelt Trail. The rest of the parks trails are mostly wide maintenance vehicle trails. Not very scenic.

Hiked most of the trails, not well marked, would have been lost without map and phone. Peacefull walk in the woods with limited scenic views compared to other parks on long island. Difficult to exit park onto highway.

Beautiful scenic NYS nature preserve in Smithtown which was once home to a local hrist mill. The colonial home on the property is now a visitor/nature center with some local history dating back to Revolutionary War days. They also have a website with an overview, directions, and contact information.
