For our first hike of the year we choose a park we'd never visited before, Indian Island Park, a Suffolk county parkland of 275 acres. One can normally drive around and through it but after a heavy snow barricades were up part way inside to keep vehicles off the unplowed areas. It was a beautiful sunny day with almost no wind. We walked the perimeter along the sandy shore of Flanders Bay to the white sand causeway then across to the picnic area where we had lunch at a picnic table in a sunbeam. Descriptions of the park say the best times to visit are in the summer and early fall but the solitude of winter was perfect for us. There were a few cross country skiers in the park and two kayaks on the bay but that was about it.
