On this Road Trip: Close to Home, we're featuring a North Shore spot that has a lot to offer.

Cold Spring Harbor is a perfect spot for nature lovers.

Cold Spring Harbor State Park is right off the main road, and it's a great place to hike. The spot is dog friendly!

The park also offers an exciting birdwatching experience.

You can also set up a picnic near the water with a beautiful view of the fall foliage.

The town is also filled with history!
