For decades, local families have headed to the Duck Pond in Wading River for serene moments watching the ducks graze and swim. The spring and fall time of year are perfect for a visit with the spring tulips in blossom or the fall foliage as a backdrop to enjoy the crisp air and enjoy the ducks, swans, and geese. The area also boasts some great eats! The new North Tavern was opened in July 2018 by the family who once ran Stony Brook's venerated Country House Restaurant. They have American style cuisine - and be sure to get the Zucchini Noodles if you stop in! You can also get lighter "european" fare at My Creperie and during the summer months a local violinist often plays on the weekends.

And while your at the Duck Pond be sure to stop into R.E.N , unique little gem that sells -crafted wood items such as signs and furniture and has many other metal/iron home goods as well. less

Wading River is the start of the North Fork and is located on the Long Island Sound. Located west of the Peconics, the north side of Wading River features waterfront views - and the rural farmhouse charm north of Route 25A. Wading River boasts a state park that draws many visitors to the area for camping, swimming, fishing, and hiking. Located on the eastern edge of Wading River, Wildwood State Park encompasses 767 acres on the Long Island Sound. Wading River Beach is widely considered one of the best places to catch a sunset in town and many locals and visitors to the hamlet make it a date night with a walk across the street for drinks and fine dining at La Plage - a true hidden gem of the East End. What makes Wading River the gateway to the North Fork is its handful of farm stands, which include the always popular Lewin Farms, May's Farm, and Fink's Family Farm. While Wading River is still mostly farmland, very little farming is done today. Several privately owned mixed-crop farms are the only remnants of the hamlet's agricultural past. Despite its recent growth and development, Wading River's charm is still evident in its curving roads, scenic ponds and shore cottages. There are several small retail centers and a King Kullen supermarket, but there is no industry, no movie theatre, and Wading River residents like it that way. The School District is also a big draw for Suffolk County homebuyers. In the last 30 years the community's population has more than doubled. The population increase is largely attributed to the Brookhaven National Laboratory, and the Grumman Aerospace Corporation. less
