Just across the street, less than half a mile off of Paumanok Path, is Stony Brook's Southampton Campus. It has a little windmill on its 84-acre campus and might be worth a detour!

The Paumanok Path meets the Penny Pond loop trail at this junction. Both are well-marked. The trail around Penny Pond takes you to an observation blind right on the water, where you can picnic and watch for wildlife.

The Paumanok Path traverses a lovely series of rolling hills and ponds here. The path is well-marked and, for the most part, rests on a bed of soft pine needles. Be weary of chiggers in the warmer months.

Canoe Place is a luxury resort town on the Shinnecock Canal with upscale hotels, restaurants, and water access. The Paumanok Path passes through the center of town, and on some maps detours down Gate Street to the canal, where there is often a porta potty, and where you can get excellent views of the canal bridge.

The Shinnecock Canal was the first saltwater canal in New York State, built between 1884 and 1892. Once a site used by Native Americans to carry canoes over land, the Canal today connects two of the most stunning bays on Long Island's eastern side, Shinnecock Bay and Great Peconic Bay, which had become landlocked over time. Though the Hamptons officially begin 10 miles (16.09 km) west of the Canal, it is known as the starting point of this exclusive summer resort, as every modern bridge leading to the Hamptons crosses the Canal.

Manorville Hills County Park is not as busy as other nearby parks. This area has a vast network of trails and is somewhat hilly. Seasonal blooms of mountain laurels can be enjoyed, but watch out for ticks in the summer.
