Interpretive Programs

From March through October, park naturalists offer a variety of interpretive programs, including nature walks, live animal demonstrations, evening programs, nature games, nature crafts, storytelling and mill tours.

Program schedules are posted on bulletin boards in the campground, picnic areas, the lodge, mill and naturalist’s office. Programs are one hour or less (unless otherwise noted), free of charge and do not require reservations. Parents should accompany children to programs.

During the winter season, the park naturalist will travel upon arrangement to surrounding communities to provide programs for civic groups and assist school teachers with science and natural history lessons.

The mill at Montauk State Park is over 100 years old. This historic site was a vital part of the Montauk Community into the 1920s. Built in 1896, the "Old Mill" had elaborate milling machinery. Much of it is still located there. Free guided tours of the mill are given on weekends. Hours vary, depending on demand and scheduled group tours. New schedules are posted each week showing times and dates for available public tours. For information regarding tours or to schedule a special group tour, contact the park naturalist at 573-548-2225.
