Gaze at the Night Sky Above Katahdin

Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument in northern Maine has emerged as a rare sanctuary for stargazers amid increasing light pollution in New England. Established in 2016 and certified as a Dark Skies Sanctuary by DarkSky International in 2020, this magnificent 87,500-acre area allows visitors to experience the night sky as it has appeared for thousands of years. With no commercial power sources within its boundaries, Katahdin offers breathtaking views such as the Milky Way and ensures minimal artificial light interference. Local advocates, led by the Friends of Katahdin Woods & Waters, host annual events like “Stars Over Katahdin,” which invites the public to learn about and appreciate the beauty of dark skies through education and guided stargazing. For those seeking a unique outdoor adventure, this monument promises an unforgettable experience under its pristine night sky.
