FIREFLIES

The Firefly Sanctuary is open year-round and accessible via a woodland trail leading up from Sleepy Hollow Road. Fireflies are most active in late June and early July. In an effort to protect the natural resources and limit visitor impacts, NCLT implemented a registration system in 2021. During peak viewing season (last week of June and first week of July) we limit attendance to 30 visitors per night. Guests are provided with a red-beam flashlight (which does not interfere with firefly signaling) and asked to apply bug spray before walking up to the meadow. For more information
