Blydenburgh County Park
Veteran’s Memorial Highway,
Smithtown, New York 11788
Situated at the headwaters of the Nissequogue River, this 627 acre park offers visitors panoramic views of Stump Pond, miles of trails, and a wide array of cultural & recreational activities.
Stump Pond was created in 1798 when Isaac Blydenburgh, along with his cousins Joshua Smith II and Caleb Smith II, dammed the headwaters of the Nissequogue River in order to construct a grist mill. The dam flooded the river’s original banks to form a pond. Tree stumps on the former banks protruded through the water which is how Stump Pond got its name.
