About this site

Welcome to Project R.I.S.E., Peconic Baykeeper's community science initiative to document long-term climate impacts and coastal change in the Peconic Estuary Watershed. Please help support this project by submitting your photos each time you visit this site!

Indian Island County Park is a 275 acre parcel of land located at the estuarine mouth of the Peconic River. It’s very popular as a camping site, featuring trailer and tent areas, and restrooms and shower facilities. It’s also a great place for picnicking, complete with tables, grills, and scenic views of Flanders Bay. There are also miles of mostly sandy trails perfect for walking, running, or biking. The namesake “island” is now connected to the mainland via a white sand roadway, and provides a remote area to enjoy the outdoors, yet is still accessible by foot or vehicle.
