Stargazing at the Dark Sky Park

August 25th or 26th (This will only be held on one night, 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 red lens cover is 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 (Newport Wilderness Society) for updates. This program will be cancelled if viewing conditions are poor. There is no seating available, so bring your own chair or blanket. Park at Lot 3 and follow the marked path.
