Stargazing At The Dark Sky Park

Description

This event takes place on Aug. 4 or 5, whichever night has the best viewing conditions.

Join us at Wisconsin’s only designated dark sky park for a night of star gazing. There will be telescopes and other equipment set up with some of Door County’s best amateur astronomers on hand to point out some highlights of the night sky. All are welcome to bring their own telescopes or binoculars. Flashlights or headlamps with a red lens cover are recommended.

It is always a good idea to come during daytime hours to familiarize yourself with the area first. As conditions are unpredictable, the date for this program will be decided as weather conditions are assessed. Check with the park office or the Facebook page for updates.

This program will be canceled if viewing conditions are poor. There is no seating available, so bring your chair or a blanket. Park at lot 3 and follow the marked path.
