Considering that this is a bird that will attract out-of-staters that may have no knowledge of the area, it’s worth mentioning that Point Lookout is located on the south shore of Nassau county, Long Island. The principal highway to take is the Meadowbrook Parkway, which can be accessed from the Long Island Expressway, Northern Parkway, and Southern Parkway. Go south most of the way (passing over 2 small bridges over the bay) and exit to the Loop Parkway (just before the toll booths). Then follow the local directions. Here is a composite of some that have been given.
Take Loop Parkway. At end go straight across the intersection into Hempstead Town Park (or Point Lookout Town Park (whatever it actually says)). Follow entrance road past booths. Take left on road running along north edge of large parking field. Bird is in the pines on your left. These pines are just west of the "Rockpile". You’ll be facing north at the pine grove. The warbler has been seen mainly in the midsection of the pine grove and to the right a bit.
