"We've only been here during the day. But it's beautiful and serene. There's a long drive in and then a walk to the water. I imagine that helps keep the light pollution down at night. There's a wide open space that would be perfect for viewing the sky. There is a building with a gathering space for events and bathrooms."
"Beautiful area, very easy to spend an afternoon exploring the area. Given the opportunity as well, this whole place is interesting to see as it changes from season to season. Great opportunity for freighter spotting as well if that’s your thing. If you are looking for darkness specifically however, you can find better views just access the bridge."
"This place is one the best sky gazing spots in upper Michigan. The staff has maintained the place extremely well. Follow the trail to the right from the parking lot, to enter the sky viewing arena. Even during day times this place has scenic views and comfy lakeshore. To see the northern lights, go to Gulpin point. To see the Milky Way, visit this place from 11-3am"
"STUNNING dark skies park on the lake shores with great walking paths and well defined observation areas. Real cool facility and thinking about going back again as we didn't get to see the Northern Lights last night... it was still gorgeous!"
"This place is absolutely beautiful and a great place to see the stars. Unfortunately, the day we went, it was cloudy so we were not able to see anything much. The seating area is very nice by the water, they have green space for people who wish to lay down or concrete area for people who wish to bring their chairs. The washrooms are clean and the gift shop area is open until 10pm. Please be mindful that there is only red light permitted in the entire area. Cellphones will need to be changed to dark mode with red light filter. Parking lot was small so you might want to come in early. Come before sunset, there is a beautiful view of the sunset over lake Michigan."
