"Very beautiful area. I believe I went here for a boy scout camp out once"
"It is pretty neat when there is a place that you can go that has multiple telescopes to view the stars with! No cost, but donations are welcome. Look for their star party nights to head out and look at the stars. The volunteers that are there will help you out. You can also bring you own telescope if you have one."
"I visited this place couple of times to attend the public star watch parties. It's such an amazing place if you are interested to learn/watch more about the distant objects. People are very friendly and will answer even the most basic questions you have. Fall and winter would be the ideal time to visit with early sunsets and plenty of time for stargazing."
"Went there for the Perseids (witnessed a fireball that night haha). Considering it was about 1 hr drive from the downtown area, this was a good place to see stars and the milky way. See pictures from my phone below (really wish I had a budget for a DSLR camera and a tripod then...). Bathroom were closed during my camping at night. Observatory were closed when I got there. Beach was nice and the lake was beautiful under the stars. You might also hear fish jumped out of water and birds singing and flying around. FYI, there are some gas stations nearby and they all have 24 hr opening stores for you snacks, drinks and restroom needs."
"Came on Sunday of labor day weekend and there was literally one other car. Lovely little place to stop and let my pups stretch their legs. The observatory was closed so I'm assuming that's why it was so empty. Great beach and fishing dock. Bathroom facilities were A+."
