Then you can park at the (small) lot on Sunnyside, about 1/4 mile east of Woodbury Rd., it's then uphill on Sunnyside, then south and over the Northern Parkway, then a left onto the north side of the LIE service road (at the Holiday Inn) then rollers down to Washington Ave. It's in Trailview after that to BP.
My preferred route to link to the Jones Beach path is to get off the BP path at Clark Ave. (11.5 miles from Woodbury Rd.), which is just after the "Kiwanis" fishing bridge. I go right on Clark about for about 2 miles on good roads and under the Seaford-OBY Expressway, an immediate left on W Seamans Neck Rd. then a right (only choice) on Park Ave. Then another mile to a left on Beach Ave. (at the 7-11), cross Sunrise and down to Merrick Rd. A left and quick right into Cedar Creak Park and you are at the JB path.
From Woodbury Rd. to the east bath house at JB is about 20.5 miles, one-way, if you extend out to TOBAY, it's another 3.5, so 24 or so one-way, 48 RT. A fair distance considering that only about 8 is on roads.
That's actually amazing for Long Island, IMO.
