Timeline
06:07
Arrive at Ellisville Harbor State Park before the sun breaks the horizon. The park is open for walking and sightseeing, so you can find a quiet spot along the beachfront or salt marsh to watch the sky lighten.
07:07
Watch the sunrise. On 15 January the sun rises at 07:07 toward the WSW. The golden light starts about 15 minutes after sunrise, painting the 18th-century farmstead and red pine forest in warm tones.
07:52
Enjoy the golden light. Stay for the best viewing conditions as the light softens the landscape. This is the perfect time for bird watching or beach combing before the day gets busy.
Local tip
Since there are no food or drink shops listed in the immediate vicinity, bring your own coffee or breakfast if you want to eat before or during the sunrise. Check opening hours for any nearby facilities you might visit separately.
