Stargazing at the Dark Sky Park

Join us at Wisconsin’s only designated dark sky park for a night of star gazing. 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 telescopes, binoculars, chairs and blankets. 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 (Newport Wilderness Society) for updates. This program will be canceled if viewing conditions are poor. There is no seating available, so bring your chair or blanket. Park at Lot 3 and follow the marked path.
