Contact
World-class stargazing is closer than you might think at Dr. T.K. Lawless International Dark Sky Park, one of Michigan’s three International Dark Sky Parks and an official Michigan Dark Sky Preserve. With no light pollution from cities or neighborhoods, you’ll easily see a spellbinding vista of our universe and its stars, planets, moons and nebulae.
The park will be open late weather permitting. Meet in the main parking lot, and volunteers will guide you to the best viewing site.
