Canoe Place was a station stop along the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road and first opened as a low cinder platform on the south east side of Shinnecock Canal in 1935. The station was in service for "Fisherman's Special" trains and was closed in 1953.[1][2][3] "Fisherman's Special" trains operated from Penn Station to Montauk and provided an intermediate stop at Canoe Place for boats waiting to take anglers out on Peconic Bay.[4][5] The station was located between Hampton Bays and Suffolk Downs Stations.[6] The hamlet where it was located is now part of Hampton Bays, New York.
