James River State Park is a designated International Dark Sky park. We have been working with the International Dark Sky Association to do our part in protecting our night skies from light pollution, and we invite you to celebrate this wonderful accomplishment with us.
Our volunteer astronomers will have telescopes available for an up-close view of planets and galaxies, but you may also bring your own telescope to explore these amazing wonders of the night sky with our knowledgeable staff as your guide. A presentation will be available in the case of cloudy conditions.
Please meet at Shelter #4. All materials provided. Suitable for all ages. Wear appropriate clothing and shoes for the weather and bring a water bottle with you. Parks are for everyone, please let us know if you need special accommodation.
For more information, please call (434) 942-3545
