The Loop Parkway (or colloquially as the Loop) is a spur off the Meadowbrook State Parkway on Long Island in the State of New York. After crossing over Reynolds Channel, the parkway ends at Lido Boulevard (County Route 1) on the border of Lido Beach and Point Lookout. Loop Parkway is a state parkway, designated New York State Route 908C, an unsigned reference route.

The Loop Parkway's connection at the south end of the Meadowbrook State Parkway provides motorists with easy access to the Nassau County seat in Mineola and the Ocean Parkway, which connects with or goes through Jones Beach Island, Captree State Park, and the Robert Moses Causeway.

[edit] Route description

The Loop Parkway begins at an intersection with Lido Boulevard in Lido Beach, heading north as a four-lane divided highway. The road crosses Reynolds Channel and heads onto a marshy island with some trees, curving northeast as the median widens with U-turn ramps in both directions. The median narrows again and the parkway heads east, crossing more water on a drawbridge and heading onto another island. The Loop Parkway crosses another channel onto another island and ends at an interchange with the Meadowbrook State Parkway in Freeport.[2][3]

The entire route is in Nassau County.
