Middle Island
County:
Suffolk
The relaxed community of Middle Island seems to preserve the caring and gentle attitude that was first symbolized by its 19th century Light Station. Located in the "middle" of Long Island, the town has been built up over the decades with homes, coop apartments, condominiums, churches, small businesses, and commercial development. The Prosser Cathedral Pines area located on the road to Yaphank is distinguished as the largest white pine forest on Long Island. The oldest trees date back to 1812, and this beautiful preserve is now open to the public as part of Suffolk County Parks. In addition to good schools and the local library, one of the highlights of the community is the Middle Island Country Club. The accepting, casual nature of Middle Island is reflected in the friendly spirit of the club, which tends to be a favorite of residents and visitors alike.
