Beginning at sunset, deepening into evening’s rosy dusk, Beaver Island delivers all the glories of the night sky on an unmatched canvas of black. The Milky Way, meteor showers, galactic events, satellite flares, the Northern Lights and more. All in an atmosphere of quiet peace, little traffic, scenic areas, trails and waterways that mark your path to discovering the joy of relaxing under the stars.
The Milky Way in full view as a soft breeze passes through. Saturn and Jupiter welcome you to the night, their glow providing the perfect path for nature to find its way. Constellations known and new introduce themselves as you gaze into the dark sky. Quiet. Silence. Darkness.
We believe that darkness brings light, life, and health. Every decision made by every individual, whether a resident or a visitor, can positively or negatively affect the many delicate ecosystems on Beaver Island. By treasuring its complexities and respecting its fragility, we can protect life that thrives under dark skies through proactive communication, education, training, and structure.
