Long Sault sits on the Oak Ridges Moraine, which is a quietly important fact: the moraine is high ground, and high ground above Lake Ontario means you're looking down on a thin layer of haze rather than through it. Bortle 4 isn't pristine, but the open hilltop fields catch a real southern view and the Durham Region Astronomical Association has worn a path here for a reason — it's the closest meaningful step away from Toronto's dome that you can do as a school-night drive.
Drive from Toronto: ≈ 1.5 hours east via Highways 401 and 35/115.
Best time of year: October through March — leaves are off the trees opening up the horizon, the air dries out, and the sun sets early enough that you don't have to commit a whole night.
