Old Field Point sits at the northern end of Old Field Road and offers breathtaking views of Long Island Sound and Connecticut. Residents and visitors are invited to explore the grounds although care should be taken when approaching the bluffs. The hours for the lighthouse grounds on Sundays are from 8:00 AM to 4:00PM. The first floor of the Old Field Lighthouse, constructed in 1868, serves as the Village Hall and is open for official business on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The upper floors of the Lighthouse, which continues to serve as a navigation aid for Long Island Sound, are, unfortunately, not open to the public.

Flax Pond is a tidal estuary which lies behind a barrier beach at the center of Old Field Village, Setauket, NY. One hundred and thirty-five acres of salt marsh, it is a place of great biodiversity and natural beauty. Flax Pond is a habitat for a range of plant and animal species which depend on the tidal rhythms of the estuary for their life cycle. It is a nursery, a shelter, a food source, and a place of continuing renewal. Flax Pond<\/a> is owned by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.<\/p>\n

However, the Village roads are curved and hilly resulting in many blind spots. Therefore, pedestrians and bicyclists are urged to use extreme caution. Pedestrians should walk on the left side of the road (facing oncoming traffic) and fall into single file as vehicles approach. Bicyclists should ride single file on the road (with cars). Please use reflective clothing and lights from dusk till dawn. Helmets are mandatory in Suffolk County for all bicyclists under 18 and highly recommended for all.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ module_id=”of_poi-7″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#e6d4b6″ custom_margin=”30px||30px||true|false” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/oldfieldny.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Sailing2-circle.jpg” title_text=”Sailing2-circle” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||true|true” custom_padding=”||||true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|||on|||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_font_size=”22px” header_font=”||||||||” background_color=”#84abb5″ custom_margin=”|||0px|true|false” custom_padding=”15px|25px|15px|25px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
