Snow much fun on LI - Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing

Maybe you're best recreation and exercise is outside during the winter! It might be tempting to stick to the warmth of the couch from Dec- April but with well over 20 state parks and numerous county parks across the Island, there is something to be said for getting out and exploring nature. While Long Island's ski hills are now a thing of the past, you can still cross country ski and snow shoe in many picturesque locations.
