Directions

The Long Island Live Steamers track is located in Suffolk's Southaven County Park. The park is roughly bordered by the Long Island Expressway to the north, Sunrise Highway to the south, William Floyd Parkway to the east, and Gerrard Road to the west. Our entrance and parking lot is accessed via Gerrard / Carpluk Memorial Road. Gerrard Road was recently renamed Howie Carpluk Memorial Road, in memory of FDNY Lieutenant Howie Carpluk. Signs at both ends of Gerrard Road now read Howie Carpluk Memorial Road.
