Stargazing at the Dark Sky Park

Description

Join us at Wisconsin’s only designated Dark Sky Park for a night of stargazing.

There will be a telescope 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, binoculars, chairs and blankets. Flashlights or headlamps with a red lens cover are recommended. It is always a good idea to come during day time 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 (Newport Wilderness Society) for updates. This program will be canceled if viewing conditions are poor.

Park at Lot 3 and follow the marked path.
