DEC teamed up with NYS Div. of Homeland Security & Emergency Services, NewYorkStatePolice, NYSDOT, Empire State Development, NY State Parks, New York State Thruway Authority, and NYSDOH as part of the statewide Interagency Eclipse Task Force, in the field and at Regional Operation Centers (ROCs) in the North Country and WNY. #SolarEclipse2024

Totality comes to Point Au Roche State Park in Plattsburgh. Thank you to Rusty Bascom for sharing his photos with us!

Monday was out-of-this-world! Thank you to all of the park staff statewide who made Eclipse Day unforgettable. From opening the campgrounds early to planning educational programs to ensuring our visitors’ safety, your dedication literally shined brighter than the sun!

Can you guess the park? Some hints: (1) This park is known for its 18-hole golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones. (2) The park’s two glacial lakes are considered meromictic lakes, meaning their deeper waters do not mix with the surface water.

Whooooo loves Jones Beach?
