Enjoy an evening along Bays Mountain Reservoir from the comforts of your own canoe/kayak/sup (stand up paddleboard) while viewing the night sky.
It’s an astronomy program with a twist. Join park staff, in the middle of the reservoir, for a guided hike through the night sky. Learn about the constellations and viewable plants with the naked eye.
Park guests are required to bring their own boats/SUP and paddling equipment along with a type III personal floatation device. Guests can unload water crafts near the upper portion of the dam. The cost is $10.00 per person.
