The Foundation has preserved and protected 62 acres along the Creek below Beaver Dam Road. Traditionally the Creek has served as a protected estuary for boating and fishing. Stocked with Brown Trout the Creek is one of the few remaining unpolluted streams of the South Shore Estuary.

Upper Beaver Dam Creek

North of Beaver Dam Road to the south side of Montauk Highway. The creek is surrounded by houses and developed land. The Foundation has been able to acquire and preserve approximately 6 acres that include several parcels between Montauk and Beaver Dam Road including the property just north of Beaver Dam Road on either side of the Creek. The headwaters North of Montauk Highway where the Creek originates is critical to the health of Beaver Dam Creek. The Foundation has purchased a parcel which was the old Arnold Bread Store and before that a gas station. This property has been restored with plantings of native grasses, which should restore the original vegetation. Several other parcels that were delineated on old file maps have been purchased by the Foundation helping to assure the future health of the Creek.

Fire Place Boat Basin

A small boat basin on Beaver Dam Creek that provides summer dockage for approximately 40 boats. Under private ownership and operation for 50 years, this purchase by the Foundation will continue the current low-key operation of this boat basin for local residents and prevent a more aggressive development of this key property on the Creek.
