Car
If you're traveling by car, start on Route 27 (the Long Island Expressway) and head towards the Hamptons. Take the exit for Sagaponack, which is around Exit 65. After the exit, turn left onto Sagaponack Road. Continue on Sagaponack Road for about 1.5 miles. Sagg Swamp Preserve will be on your right. Look for the small parking area and entrance sign. Make sure to check for any parking fees or regulations.
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, take the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) from New York City to the East Hampton station. Once you arrive, you can catch the Jitney (a bus service) towards Southampton. Ask the driver to drop you off at Sagaponack Road. From there, it’s about a 15-20 minute walk to Sagg Swamp Preserve. Make sure to check the bus schedule for return trips if you plan to stay for a while.
