Full Moon Hike: The Harvest Moon

Come hike with us under the Harvest Moon!

The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox. In 2026, the equinox falls on Sept. 22, just four days before the Sept. 26 full moon. Historically, the extra early evening light allowed farmers to harvest crops later into the night before electric lighting. Around this time, the moon’s rise is compressed, so it appears almost immediately after sunset for several nights.

PLEASE:

• Wear appropriate clothing
• Bring water/gatorade etc.
• Also, bug spray!

Try to arive 5-10 minutes early, the park gate will automatically close at 7:30pm.

We will start at the Blue Heron Pavilion and loop around Mac Lake.

Hope to see y'all on our Full Moon Hike!
