We want for everyone to have a pleasant experience. To do this we have formulated a few guidelines for our visitors to be aware of.
Red Lights
The areas where the fireflies are abundant are naturally dark. Introducing lights into their environment can be damaging to their habitat. Still though people have to see in the dark. To do this we suggest covering light sources with a red lens. We have also discovered a variety of ways to utilize your phone to be a source of red light. Keep lights pointed toward the ground for safe walking and off while viewing.
Phone Usage
Use of phones in the viewing areas are distracting to others including the fireflies. To protect the habitat and the enjoyment of others we will be encouraging guests to keep their phones off in these areas. Use of phones with red light apps will be allowed.
Protect Habitat
As with any natural habitat it is important to not disturb their environment. These fireflies live in the leafy areas on the ridges. Please do not walk, hike or climb the ridge and be careful not to step into the leafy areas. Also do not capture fireflies.
Watch Your Children
Do not let your children play in the creek in fact keep your children close to you at all times. Since the areas to view the fireflies will be dark it would be dangerous for children to roam about without supervision.
Keep It Clean
Help us keep the environment clean. Trash receptacles will be provided so please use them.
Seating
Please bring a chair or blanket to sit on. We MAY have limited chairs available for those flying in and unable to bring their own chairs. You are welcome to walk around and see the view from a variety of locations.
There is free handicap parking with golf cart assist for those needing extra assistance. It is about 300 yard walk on a flat, gravel path.
We have no control of the weather. This is a rain or shine event.
Gate opens at 7PM; Viewing will likely begin around 9:30PM.
