Dark Sky Viewing Area
A good concept, but i wish the viewing area was further away from the road, further away from the parking and the actual pad a bit bigger. I am rating the facility considering if it is worth to drive all the way here for the experience of star gazing alone. I think not. However, it is a great park and i talked to someone over a phone who were very helpful. My biggest complaint- there was supposed to be an event Up & Close with the Moon on Aug 13th, and we were there in time, but there was no event.

Great open area. Plenty of space for each person to comfortably take photos or even just look at the stars. I do wish some people had some more common courtesy though and not wave their bright flashlights all over the place. They don't really seem to have any consideration of where they point it either, so you might get one in the face.

Amazing. Could see Milky way band. I found this better than the Torrance one. Torrance is too noisy and disturbing place to be. Could see Andromeda Galaxy as well and shot some from Samsung Galaxy phone. There was a moonlight starting midnight and it beautifully reflected on the photo which was set to be 30 seconds exposure at 400 iso. Beautiful lake in the trail nearby. Calm and silent.

Definitely the best place to see the stars, not sure if you can see the Milky Way. But during the major sun storm, you definitely can see the northern light at here!

Amazing little day trip! We showed up with a telescope we didn't know how to use hoping for the best, and a friendly volunteer spent over an hour walking us through the basics of using a telescope, guided us to see the Orion Nebula and Mars in the sky, and showed us some of his amazing astrophotography he'd taken the previous year. Even with your naked eye the night sky is breathtaking, far more than when you're trying to squint at it through the city light pollution. Will definitely be returning. Thank you for your help, Tim!

Little bit small... Not bad, but nothing special. There are better areas for stargazing.

I was here during the day to check it out during my travels through the area. Will definitely come back with my telescope at night. Ample parking and very nice viewing pad which is integrated with the natural rock. During the day there are wonderful walking trails in the immediate area.

Nice place！The sky here is very broad and you can see many stars here. Here you can easily see the Milky Way. Disadvantages: too close to the highway, often when taking photos always have car light into the pictures☹️

If you have a telescope and want dark skies this the place to go in Southeastern Ontario. North of Napanee right beside County Road 41. Easy access by car
