In case you missed it: Governor Kathy Hochul recently announced that people who want to experience a rare total solar eclipse in April 2024 can stay at seven State Park campgrounds that will open early for the event.
“Next year, New Yorkers and visitors alike will have the opportunity to witness an extraordinary, celestial show in our state as the solar eclipse passes over the heart of Western New York, the Finger Lakes, and the Adirondacks in 2024,” Governor Hochul said. “Our State Parks will open campground accommodations early, prior to the traditional camping season, to ensure people can see this amazing display in one of New York’s beautiful natural settings. I encourage all who are interested to reserve their spot beginning this week for this incredible event.”
Read the full press release, which includes helpful information on reserving a camp site, and be sure to check out the NYS Library’s eclipse resources.
