Carman's River, Long Island

Carman's River is a favorite fishing pond and launch point for canoes, kayaks, and row boats.

Ihe Carman's river begins in central Long Island and flows south 10 miles to the Great South Bay. Along the way there are two county parks, three "lakes" which are remnants of old mill ponds, and the Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge.

The Long Island Railroad bridge crosses over the Carman's River about 2 miles upstream of Squassux Landing within the Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge.

For a fee, you can park in Glacier Bay Sports on Montauk Highway and they will transport you to the start of the river.
