Join Us for a Halloween Zombie Walk!
Join us at 9 a.m. on October 31st, as we team up with Girls Who Hike for our first-ever Halloween Zombie Walk! Make your way along the park’s 1.8-mile paved loop and trails, where creepy crawlies and Spooktacular characters from Halloweens past may be lurking. Bring your best zombie moves, your bravest face, and maybe a little extra courage!
Exciting Activities Await
Also, between 9 a.m. and noon, we will have a photo scavenger hunt where participants can win prizes. Be on the lookout for special Halloween-themed items to capture on camera!
