Description
Join park staff and experience a partial solar eclipse at Obed Wild & Scenic River on Monday, April 8.
Obed Wild & Scenic River will not be within the path of totality this time around, meaning visitors will not witness a total solar eclipse. Instead, there will be approximately 90 percent coverage, with peak partial eclipse expected to be at 3:07 PM. The partial solar eclipse should last two and a half hours, beginning at 1:49 PM and ending at 4:23 PM.
Expect to walk a 0.3-mile wooded path to the overlook, and please bring sturdy footwear, water, sun protection, and wear clothing appropriate for weather conditions. A limited number of solar glasses and other eclipse-viewing equipment will be available for use during the event.
