The traditional Fire Island Trek is scheduled for Wednesday through Fri., Sept. 9 to 11 and coincides with the park's 45th anniversary. The three-day 20-mile trek also leaves from the Wilderness Visitor Center, and finishes up at the top of the Fire Island Lighthouse. Limited logistical support is available, but participants must provide for their own transportation and parking, and pay for their meals along the way. Overnight accommodations are rustic, so trekkers must also provide their own sleeping bags. A $100 program fee is charged for the three-day Fire Island Trek.
