Enjoy an evening under the stars, floating along the Bays Mountain Reservoir, safely from the comfort of your own kayak. It’ll be a cool and relaxing evening like no other.
Bays Mountain Park is pleased to bring back the kayak stargazing program this spring. The program is an astronomy class with a twist where you’ll learn about the constellations, the Moon and the viewable planets with the naked eye.
Kayak Stargazing programs will be held from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. on April 14, 16 and 21, and from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on May 7, 12 and 14. The cost is $5 for park members and $10 for non-members. Each program is limited to 20 boats so be sure to sign up early.
Participants are required to bring their own kayak, canoe or stand-up paddleboard and paddling equipment, along with a Type III personal flotation device. You will also be allowed some time to paddle around the lake as you wait for the sky to darken.
