Journey to the heart of False Cape State Park away from city lights and traffic to observe a spectacular night sky. Learn how to identify constellations and other bright objects in the night sky. We will be staying at one location to observe the night sky, so be sure to bring something comfortable to sit or lay on and a flashlight. In the event of cloudy/overcast skies, we may opt for a night hike instead.
