Lennox and Addington Dark Sky Viewing Area

Located in Canada, 23 miles (37 km) north of Napanee and 7 miles (11 km) south of Kaladar on Hwy 7, the Lennox and Addington County Dark Sky Viewing Area is the most southerly point in Ontario that offers a night sky experience very similar to what was available more than 100 years ago. The site has modern amenities, including ample parking and a large concrete pad for camera or telescope setup. With a rating around class 2 on the Bortle Dark Sky Scale, the site opened in 2012 with the support of the well-known amateur astronomer Terence Dickinson. A stargazer shared the following with EarthSky: “The viewing area is open from dusk until dawn, and reservations aren’t required – just come and enjoy. Witness – perhaps for the first time – how the night sky is meant to be seen.” Based on the photos on the website, this place truly does look spectacular!
