Site

Township staff in Plevna built North Frontenac for telescopes, not tourists. The site has poured-concrete piers spaced for visiting Dobsonians, red-filtered floodlights, 120V power outlets and lighting bylaws that the township actually enforces. It is the rare municipal investment that pays off in something you can only see when the lights go out.

Drive from Toronto: ≈ 3.5 hours east via Highways 401, 7 and 506.

Best time of year: Year-round. Crisp February nights deliver the best transparency of the year; July and August are the friendliest if you don't own a parka.
