Manitoulin Eco Park
Manitoulin Eco Park in Tehkummah, Ontario, has a 70-acre RASC dark-sky preserve designated in 2008, on the southeast side of Manitoulin Island. A large open field gives a 360 degree view, and the no-white-light Dark-Sky Campground offers tent sites, a bunkie and a stargazing cabin. After dark, vehicles park outside the preserve gate and visitors walk in; day and dark-sky passes are sold on the park website.
