Target Rock National Wildlife Refuge
Park Information
The Target Rock National Wildlife Refuge is located on the north shore of Long Island, 25 miles east of New York City. This 80-acre refuge comprises a mature oak-hickory forest, a half-mile rocky beach, a brackish pond, and several vernal ponds.
The land and waters support a variety of songbirds (particularly warblers during spring migration), mammals, shorebirds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians. During the colder months, diving ducks are common offshore, while harbor seals occasionally use the beach and nearby rocks as resting sites.
NY State and Federally protected piping plover, least tern, and common tern depend on the Refuge’s rocky shore for foraging and rearing young. The spring bloom at Target Rock reminds of its days as a garden estate, with flowering rhododendrons and mountain laurels.
