Half the Park is After Dark!

Kick off the New Year with an adventure under Southeast Minnesota’s best night skies. Forestville/Mystery Cave State Park is one of the rare places where the Milky Way still shines bright.

Wander at your own pace beneath star – filled skies on a self-guided walk past Historic Forestville and along the South Branch Root River. Telescope viewing and stargazing opportunities will help you get an up-close look at the wonders overhead.

Warm up by the fire at the picnic shelter with hot beverages and cookies. Bring your curiosity, your red light flashlight and a sense of adventure – your New Year begins under the stars!

A vehicle permit is required for this event. Traction devices are recommended as trails can be icy.
