Mark your calendars! Immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty as you climb the Bodie Island Lighthouse under the last two full moons of the climbing season!

🌕 August 19th is a Sturgeon Moon, named by northeastern Native American tribes for the abundance of sturgeon fish during this time. The moon has guided anglers for centuries, reminding us of the deep connection between nature and sustenance.

🌕 September 17th is a Harvest Moon. The Harvest Moon signifies the time to reap the benefits of crops sown in earlier months.

Not here during these full moon dates? Check out other program and climb offerings below ⬇️

🌙 Bodie Island Lighthouse evening climbs every Tuesday night at 8:00pm, 8:30pm, and 9:00pm.

Vehicle waits to board Parker's Ferry as operator J. A. Ellis approaches, 6 September 1966.

Located near Winton in Hertford County, Parker's Ferry provides one of only two ways to cross the Meherrin River in this area. The ferry dates to the early 1900s when county residents needed a more direct north/south route.

This service is still in operation today and is one of only three surviving cable ferries in NC.

Not only serving as important infrastructure, it has become a revered part of Hertford County history.
