LAND BETWEEN THE LAKES, KY/TN – October 19, 2016 – Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area has opened the camping reservation system to accept early reservations for August 14-August 23, 2017. A total solar eclipse will occur in the region on Monday, August 21, 2017.
“We want to support our local communities and visitors who want to be here to experience this unusual astronomical event,” says Jeff Laird, Customer Service Manager at Land Between the Lakes. “There are approximately 1,400 campsites across the recreation area and a portion of those are available for reservations. The Homeplace 1850s Farm, Woodlands Nature Station, and Golden Pond Planetarium and Observatory have programs planned around the eclipse event, so there will be lots to do here and in our surrounding communities.”
Reservations will be accepted at Energy Lake, Hillman Ferry, Piney, and Wranglers campgrounds.
