The North Fork of Suffolk County, New York is a peninsula in the northeast part of the county and of Long Island. The southeast part of the county is an even longer peninsula, called the South Fork.

Geography

The North Fork is composed of all of the Town of Southold in the east and part of the Town of Riverhead in the west. The body of water north of this region is the Long Island Sound.

Lying between the North Fork and the South Fork, are several islands, including the two large islands of Gardiners Island and Shelter Island. The dividing line between the two forks in the west is the Peconic River.

The easternmost tip of the North Fork is Orient Point. Beyond that point is one additional significant part of the Town of Southold, Plum Island.
