Headlands
Welcome!
The grounds, trails, and viewing areas at the Headlands are open 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Visitors are welcome to stay out through the night for dark-sky viewing opportunities, but camping is not permitted. The Headlands is not intended as an overnight sleeping destination but instead is designated as a place to stay awake and view the stars. You may bring blankets, chairs, food, beverages, etc. When packing, keep in mind that temperatures are typically 10 degrees lower than expected due to our proximity to the lake shore.
As a courtesy to others, we do not permit white lights (flashlights or cell phones) in the designated viewing area. Red-filtered flashlights are permitted and are sold on-site. Well-mannered pets are permitted on a six-foot leash. View our Dark Sky Etiquette Guidelines before you visit.
New Seasonal Openings: We're excited to announce new seasonal job opportunities at the Headlands and other parks! Explore our seasonal positions and join our team for an unforgettable summer.
GIFT SHOP
The “Out of This World" Gift Shop provides worldly and truly out-of-this-world gift items for the dark sky enthusiast in your life. Like a black hole, we are small and pack in a wide variety of spacey items. Stop in and take an orbit before you ‘lift off’ for your next adventure.
The gift shop is open during all events and observing dates and is open for the summer months seven days a week.
