Description

Stargazing will occur this week on Saturday, Jan. 17 at 7 p.m. by the lake!

The new moon occurs around this time, so be prepared to see features with amazing clarity against a dark sky.

Take advantage of our remote location far from city lights to see brilliant night skies over the lake. We will talk about the stars, constellations, planets, and galaxies that can be seen that night. Feel free to bring binoculars to get a closer look.

Please register (for free) with the Park Office at (434)-248-6308! Note that this event may be cancelled due to poor weather conditions; we will call to let you know if any changes have been made.

Regular parking fee applies. https://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state-parks/event?id=2025-12-14-17-18-09-939764-qly
