"L&A County Dark Sky Viewing Area is the most southerly point in Ontario where the night sky is so pristine, offering a night sky experience very similar to what was available more than 100 years ago.
The site includes a large concrete pad for camera or telescope setup, or placement of lawn chairs for general stargazing. While the L&A Dark Sky Viewing Area is ideal for amateur astronomers and astrophotographers, it is designed for anyone wishing to observe the natural wonder of the stars.
The viewing area is open from dusk until dawn, and you need not make reservations - just come and enjoy. Enthusiasts from near and far are encouraged to bring along binoculars or a telescope and witness - perhaps for the first time - how the night sky is meant to be seen."
Best Viewing Times: From: 9:00 PM To: 4:00 AM
Feature Type: Natural
Parking or Trailhead: Not Listed
