The North Fork has so much to do in diverse natural topography & unique villages! Great biking, kayaking, bird & other wildlife watching, walking down nature's paths, swimming in the Long Island Sound, Peconic Bay, lakes & fishing too. More than 30 wineries with tastings, tours, live music, & art shows. There are unique artisan shops, galleries, and specialty food stores. Farms tend to be small, on some you can pick your own; farmstands abound, with gourmet organic specialties such as fresh picked lavender & goat cheeses & soaps. Homemade pies & pastries, Long Island duck, the best fried chicken, haute cuisine, and seafood galore. In Southold, there are historic homes, an observatory & an Indian Museum. For families with children there's miniature golf & a carousel in Greenport. All are welcome on tours of lighthouses, by foot or boat, harbor cruises, musical and theatrical performances, special festivals, and lots of charity events & firehouse cookouts enhance weekends.
