Join the park naturalist and our Astronomy enthusiasts/Conservation Volunteers, for our first night stargazing program of the year!
Participants will have captivating views of June's Full Strawberry moon, as well as planets and constellations, using our professional telescopes. This program will begin as a short informative discussion followed by a hands-on exploration of the wonders and mysteries of the evening skies. Feel free to bring your own equipment. This event is free. MINORS MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT. The park asks that visitors to our stargazing programs please leave their pets at home. Dim lighting, large crowds and sensitive equipment do not create a pet-friendly environment.

This stargazing program will be held at the Pine Run Boat Launch on Pohopoco Drive. The Pine Run Boat Launch is located approximately 4/10th of a mile east of the park office on Pohopoco Drive (GPS coordinates for the boat launch entrance are N 40.86705 W 75.62047). Please DO NOT park in the long parking spaces designated for boat trailers!!!
