About the RiverMassapequa creek is small creek settled in a very scenic area with easy pedestrian and bike access trails going along the waterway. The creek receives stocked trout from the reservoir upstream and can be fished between Massapequa Reservoir and Massapequa Lake (marked by a star on the map).
The reservoir upstream of the creek receives approximately 600-700 stocked brown and rainbow trout annually, as well as hosting a small wild brook trout population. The watershed extends from the southern end of Bethpage State Park and includes portions of the Incorporated Villages of Farmingdale and Massapequa Park and the neighborhoods and communities of Bethpage, South Farmingdale, North Massapequa, Massapequa, and Biltmore Shores before ending at South Oyster Bay.
