Sun, Feb 22, 10am-Noon. Barrel Hill Hike.  Barrel Hill in North Sea offers a quietly rewarding hike with classic South Fork character. The trail gradually rises to a modest summit with wide views of Peconic Bay and the surrounding land. Breezes off the water, birdsong, and big sky make it feel calm and expansive despite the hill’s small size. It’s an easy, peaceful walk—ideal for a quick nature break, or a moment of stillness that captures the beauty of the North Sea landscape. Moderately paced, 3.5-mile trail. Leader Hank Oppenheimer, 631-204-7223.
