In 2026, we are aiming to become Dark Sky Lodging certified, and have already replaced all of our outdoor lights with dark sky compliant fixtures. We aim to develop Dark Sky programming, host star parties, and simply encourage dark sky lovers to stay here at the field station as a favorite spot for sky-watching. 

We have very dark skies and affordable public lodging options with vast, open access to the stars. We are in the process of renovating many of our units, as well as our main building too. All lodges include heat, potable water, full kitchens, and high-speed Wi-Fi. 

If you or your group would like to visit, develop a recreational or educational program, or bring a star party out to the field station, please reach out! Check out our website at http://www.malheurfieldstation.org. Email: malheurfieldstation@gmail.com | 541-493-2629
