The Sumpter Valley dredge tailings located in the heart of Baker County has all the qualities expected for Dark Sky places. There is very little light, 1100 acres of wide-open space and a rich history known as the Sumpter Wildlife Area. The Baker County Parks Board voted unanimously on January 26 to work toward certification of that area as a Dark Sky Park.
