In late 2014, Trout Point Lodge received certification as the World's first Starlight Hotel from the Starlight Foundation, the organizational arm of the international Starlight Initiative supported by UNESCO.

Trout Point Resort offers guided solar and stargazing from the Lodge's vantage as among the best places for astronomical observations in North America, with dark & clear night time skies. Guided stargazing excursions as well as daytime interpretation of the sun using a solar telescope are available. Learn about the ancient origins and makeup of our solar system, our galaxy, and the universe itself. Check out major constellations and the magnificent Milky Way like you've never seen it before.

The stargazing resort lies within the core zone of the new Acadian Skies & Mi'kmaq Lands Starlight Tourist Destination, and immediately adjacent to a certified Starlight Reserve: the Tobeatic Wilderness Area.  

The views are breathtaking and can at times include amazing meteor showers as well as glimpses of the aurora borealis. Using the Lodge's new Meade 10" telescope, astronomical binoculars, portable Celestron SkyProdigy 130 mm, and Coronado 60 mm solar telescope brings heavenly bodies into even greater clarity. An astronomical laser pointer and Sky Quality Meter will enhance the experience.
