Stargazing Opportunities at Buffalo National River

Buffalo National River has recently implemented changes to its restroom and facility lighting as part of its commitment to preserving its designation as an International Dark Sky Park (IDSP), awarded by the International Dark-Sky Association in 2019. This effort aims to protect the park’s naturally dark skies, which are increasingly endangered due to light pollution. The park emphasizes the importance of responsible outdoor lighting practices and offers various night sky programs throughout the year to educate visitors about the value of unpolluted night skies. As the first park in Arkansas to achieve IDSP status, Buffalo National River seeks to create a serene escape from modern life, where visitors can connect with nature both by day and night. For more information on upcoming events and the importance of protecting night skies, visitors can check the park’s calendar and the National Park Service’s Night Skies website.
