Grab a snack or drink and settle in at the park. The large lakefront area offers plenty of space to spread out before the crowds arrive.
17:35
Watch the sunset. On January 15th, the sun sets toward the WSW at 17:35, casting a warm glow over the water.
18:05
Stay for the afterglow. The golden light starts around 16:57, but the colors linger for several minutes after the sun dips below the horizon, perfect for a quiet walk along the beach.
Local tip
Check the route from I-77, exit 82-C, following Celanese Rd to W Mount Gallant Rd. The park is large, so find a spot near the 2-acre beach early if you want the best view.
