Total Solar Eclipse

Don't Miss a once in a lifetime event...

Sulphur Springs, and specifically the airport will be on the centerline of a total Solar Eclipse!

While the city isn’t huge (less than 20,000 residents), there are many open areas that are anticipated to fill up as the city expects to double it's population for the event. Online guides suggest multiple viewing areas.  "One observation area is Coleman Lake and Park, which offers 186 acres with trails and waterfalls. Cooper Lake State Park lies 15 miles (24 km) north. It has more than 2,500 acres of land and nearly 20,000 acres of lake. Observing from a boat would certainly be relaxing. And you’ll only lose 2 seconds of totality compared to Sulphur Springs."
