Program Description

Event Details

Come join us for a hike into the Rocky Point Pine Barrens to visit the historic site of Radio Central where the first wireless transatlantic message was sent in 1921. We'll also see remnants of past use of the property such as the few remaining downed transmitting towers as well as other signs of the land when it was the high tech of its day & owned by the RCA Corporation. 

This easy flat 2.1 mile walk will be led by Lee McAllister, author of the book Hiking Long Island & a naturalist/photographer familiar with the land & its history. 

Meet on Rocky Point-Yaphank Road (County Rte 21) 1.5 miles north of Whiskey Road & 1.1 miles south of Route 25A where there is a yellow gated entrance on the east side of the road with ample parking.
