North Shore Heritage Map : Pine Barrens

Natural heritage is showcased in the Pine Barrens, one of the largest preserves in New York, which sits atop a freshwater aquifer formed by the retreat of the final glacial ice tide. Located in the eastern interior of the North Shore, the gateway to this "room" is LIE Exit 68 to the William Floyd Parkway in Yaphank. Its anchor lies within the Pine Barrens area in Brookhaven.
