John Bryan State Park Stargaze

A public stargazing session will take place in the parking area just beyond the JBSP playground and before the Day Lodge. Look for posted signs and MVAS volunteers helping direct traffic as you enter the park. MVAS members will have telescopes and binoculars available for viewing, so there is no need to bring your own equipment. Curiosity and questions are encouraged. When approaching the observing area, keep your vehicle headlights on low beam. Park in the lots around the Day Lodge by taking the left fork at the lodge, then walk back to the viewing site. To preserve night vision and protect equipment, use only red light sources while moving around the area and avoid white light from flashlights or phones. Pets are not allowed within the viewing zone. Attendance is free and open to park visitors, and donations are appreciated. The event depends on weather conditions. If a cancellation is necessary, a notice will be posted on the organizers' Facebook page, and if no notice appears it will proceed as planned.
