William T Davis Wildlife Refuge

Nice peaceful part of the island. Nature at its best. Good trails to walk. If the weather is nice I would recommend going for a stroll. I also see people riding bikes. So get outside and enjoy this place.

Great if you're on a bike! But waze and google send you to the middle of a marsh! We never found much hiking, just the bike path. Beautiful views of a great swath of marshland. We parked on Travis near Richmond Ave.

Convenient neighborhood path. Lots of people, dogs and bikes. Nice nature trail.

I can see the trail from my own backyard! It's a lovely stretch of land and beautiful to walk through the leaves in the fall.

Wildlife refuge is part of Staten Island Greenbelt. Well-marked short trail starts off Travis Ave (between Mulberry Ave and Freedom Ave). There are couple roadside parking spots next to the entrance. Good thing is that trail was passable even after heavy rains and disappointing thing is absence of any notable water views of tidal creek. Overall, official trail is too short to be actual destination but you can stop by while visiting Freshkills North or Brookfield Parks.
