Sumpter Wildlife Area, Baker County

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.
