The route is pedestrian hostile with narrow shoulders, fast and moderately heavy traffic and travels through exclusive rural residential neighborhoods where a premium is placed on privacy. No restrooms, water or food service is available enroute and no food service at the park. The Oyster Bay Marina is about three miles away and about a block from the Oyster Bay railroad station. The Theodore Roosevelt home is not air-conditioned. The third floor of the house is subject to closure when the heat becomes uncomfortable to visitors.
Winters are generally cold and damp with variable precipitation and snow.
Long standing snow can turn to ice. There may be a short wait on an open porch before your tour begins. Please dress appropriately for the weather. We recommend layers of clothing, especially in spring and fall, and good walking shoes. Accessibility Access to all facilities from the parking lot is by asphalt paved sidewalks.
