Louse Point Park is a designated Town of East Hampton Nature Preserve situated on a barrier of sand that separates Accabonac Harbor from Napeague Bay. Louse Point Park is one of East Hampton Town’s most intensively, and diversely used Nature Preserves which benefits commercial fishermen, waterfowl hunters, clammers, naturalists, swimmers, hikers, paddlers and boaters as well as cyclists and joggers as a scenic destination. In 1959, the Town with the help of Suffolk County, dredged a new and larger harbor entry at its current location. The dredge material was used to completely fill in the natural cut and divided off the southern most part of Gerard Drive and made it part of Louse Point. Several rare or protected species visit or nest on Louse Point, including the Piping Plover and Least Tern. One New York State listed rare plant occasionally found in this vicinity is the Sea Beach Knotweed.
This Chronolog Station is located at Louse Point Park on Accabonac Harbor.
