Operating Hours & Seasons

The Island Ford Visitor Contact Station at Island Ford is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. except Thanksgiving Day and December 25th.

The park lands and waters are open for day-use only from dawn to dusk year round. Dawn is defined as 30 minutes before legal sunrise and dusk is defined as 30 minutes after legal sunset. The sunrise and sunset hours are posted at the information kiosk located throughout the park.

You may determine sunrise and sunset times for a specific day or an entire year by visiting the United States Naval Observatory (USNO) website. Remember to subtract 30 minutes from the sunrise time to determine when the park opens and add 30 minutes to the sunset time to determine when the park closes. When daylight time is in use, add one hour to the times listed in the table.
