Dark-sky designation
International Dark Sky Park — protected for its natural darkness. The Milky Way is genuinely visible on a clear, moonless night.
Plan it honestly
Aim for new moon nights and check the park's conditions ahead of time—cloud cover and humidity can shift quickly. The park's astronomy field is open 24 hours for impromptu viewing.
Check conditions and closures with the park: Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
