Hunting Accommodations

Accessible Waterfowl Hunting and Wildlife Observation Blinds

Suffolk County Parks, with the support of The South Shore Waterfowlers Association, NYS DEC, and Riverhead Building Supply, are happy to provide waterfowl hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities for individuals of all abilities. These accessible hunting and year-round wildlife observation/appreciation blinds are located in four of our parks:

• Southaven County Park, Blind 9
• Hubbard County Park, Penney Pond
• Montauk County Park, Big Reed
• Cedar Point County Park

Reasonable Accommodation to Use an Unmodified Crossbow During the Regular Bow Season

Suffolk County does not have a crossbow season, however reasonable accommodation may be requested through the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Individuals with the reasonable accommodation authorization are required to carry the authorization with them while in the field.

A reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) may be requested by individuals with disabilities whose needs are not met by the Modified Longbow authorization or Modified Crossbow Special Permit. Certification of disability by a licensed physician is required for a reasonable accommodation for unmodified crossbow use to be granted. Your physician must certify that: "The individual is incapable of holding a bow or operating a mechanical device attached to a legal longbow for drawing, holding, and releasing a bowstring due to a physical disability." See Instructions to Request a Reasonable Accommodation for an Unmodified Crossbow.
