The BAS is kicking off the Star Party season at Cloudland Canyon State Park! Please join us at the Disc Golf parking area for an evening of astronomical observations with visual telescopes, Electronically-Assisted scopes and monitors, and just looking up with our eyes!

Family-friendly, accessible, and guaranteed awesome!

Note: BAS events are free to all, but Cloudland Canyon requires a $5.00 parking fee per vehicle.
