Foymount Observing Site

NOTICE : This is private property owned by Rock Mallin.
Please contact 749-7592 or adave@cyberus.ca for instructions before using this site.

At 1830 feet high, Foymount is at the highest populated point in Ontario. Its peaceful and scenic rolling hills overlook Lake Clear. Foymount is an excellent and rewarding get-away into the wilderness and fresh air. The combination of high altitude and extremely dark skies make this an ultimate weekend outing. The OAOG members have been granted permission to setup on a piece of land, owned by Rock Mallin, and specifically intended for astronomical activities. For access to this site, please contact Rock (adave@cyberus.ca) for instructions.

Please note that no facilities are present (with the exception of an out-house). Be sure you have all supplies (Camping, water, food, etc...) you need ahead of time.
