DaleSwanson said:Maine and Adirondacks are probably going to be your best bets. I can confirm that the night sky is amazing from both, especially if you've grown up in a suburb or city. This map is a great resource for finding the closest dark sky near you.

The term "darkest places" can refer to various locations in America, such as abandoned buildings, ghost towns, or areas with high crime rates. It can also refer to places with a dark history, such as former prisons or sites of tragic events.
Yes, it is important to exercise caution when visiting these places. Many of them may be abandoned or located in remote areas, so it is important to research and plan ahead. Some places may also have restricted access or be deemed unsafe for visitors.
These places may have a negative reputation or be associated with eerie or unsettling events. They may also have a history of violence, tragedy, or paranormal activity.
Some examples include the abandoned town of Centralia, Pennsylvania, known for its underground mine fire; the Alcatraz Island prison in San Francisco, California; and the abandoned Six Flags Jazzland amusement park in New Orleans, Louisiana.
There may be scientific explanations for some of the eerie events or phenomena associated with these places, such as natural occurrences like geological activity or environmental factors. However, some of the stories and legends surrounding these places may be purely cultural or supernatural in nature.
