Roaring River State Park hosting
Geminid Meteor Shower viewing
December 13, 2023
Roaring River State park is hosting a Geminid Meteor Shower Viewing from 8 to 10 P.M. This is one of the biggest meteor showers of the year.
This year, there will be a new moon on the night of December 12, which means the skies will be extra dark for the Geminid’s peak on the 14th. Dress warmly for a night of meteor viewing and stargazing, and come learn more about this cosmic spectacle. There will be spotting scopes to use and warm beverages.
This event will take place in the gravel parking lot at Roaring River Conservation Area. From Roaring River State Park, follow Hwy. F east toward Eagle Rock. The conservation area lot is on the right just past the park boundaries.
Seating is not provided in the parking lot, and restrooms are not available at the conservation area. Anyone wanting to sit down during the event should bring a lawn chair or blanket, and everyone is encouraged to dress warmly.
This come-and-go-style event is free and open to the public and registration is not required. In the event of heavy precipitation or thick cloud cover, the viewing will be canceled.
For more information, call the Ozark Chinquapin Nature Center at (417) 847-3742.
