Sunken Meadow State Park

Governor Alfred E. Smith/Sunken Meadow State Park and Governor Alfred E. Smith/Sunken Meadow State Park Beach are located in the Town of Smithtown in Suffolk County, New York in the USA on the North Shore of Long Island. The park's features include three miles of beaches on the Long Island Sound, a boardwalk three quarters of a mile long, 27 holes of golf with accompanying practice facilities, six miles of hiking trails, and facilities for biking, horseback riding, watersports, and general recreation. The park's grounds provide an excellent venue for cross-country running, and host competitions for many cross-country teams from local high schools and runners' clubs. The 5-kilometer course, featuring the aptly-named "Cardiac Hill", is regarded as one of the most difficult cross-country courses in the US.

The park is accessible by the Sunken Meadow State Parkway.
