USA Naturalist Shack at the Old Ferry Landing
This spot provides the perfect foreground for a milkyway shot
Photography Tips
Get there early enough so that you get your spot before others arrive, and have your gear set up already. Use Photopills to plan your shot and use the Night VR to understand exactly where the milky way will be at what time. Take multiple exposures and stack them in Lightroom or your program of choice to reduce photo noise. Wide Angle is best, and the faster the better (I used a 20mm F1.8).
Travel Information
Plenty of parking available, and is accessible from the main road, although you'll need to pay the park entrance fee or have a Military Vet pass.
