The Great North American Eclipse – Monday April 8, 2024

Lake Lemon’s Riddle Point Park will offer a truly unique way to experience the upcoming 2024 total solar eclipse. In our 14 acre park you will have unobstructed views of the sky. Our gorgeous reservoir is 1,650 acres and has 24 miles of shoreline. Our park will be your playground!
We are located in the very center of totality and will experience a full four minutes and two seconds of totality. The last time this area saw a total solar eclipse was over 800 years ago!
Take a cool dip in the lake from our beach, cook on one of our brand new charcoal grills, get a game of sand volleyball going, play in our expansive open fields, fish from the shoreline, play horseshoes, take out your boat/jet ski/kayak/paddleboard, have a hike on our wooded trail, take part in our “solar” lake plunge, enjoy our wildlife and plentiful plant life, and so much more.
We are busy booking a fantastic lineup of artists, bands, and entertainment for enjoyment during your stay, with more updates forthcoming. We’ll keep you posted here as details unfold.
Tent and RV camping is a two night package (currently no single day or single evening tickets). You can arrive as early as Sunday morning 4/7/2023 10:00 am EST with checkout on Tuesday morning 4/9/2023 by 3:00 pm EST.
Sunsets at Lake Lemon are gorgeous!
Camping in Riddle Point Park for the eclipse will be epic! Join us in a tent or RV!
