This is a shooting star event that marks the peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower. A telescope for deep sky viewing and constellation talks will be set-up along the lawn next to our Beach. Park on the east side of our Beach Parking Lot and walk the sidewalk past the restrooms to our station. Bring a chair, towel, bug spray and flashlights and enjoy these spectacular views from our beach. This program is weather-dependent. Check the park’s Facebook page for updates.
