More Information:
- Please arrive 10-15 minutes before your selected departure time for check-in, restrooms, etc.
- Failure to arrive on time can result in your departure time being pushed back to the next available time slot.
- This event is 100% outdoors, so please dress appropriately.
- In the event of inclement weather, guests will be contacted via email or phone to reschedule or receive a full refund if the event is canceled.
- *NEW* to 2024: 5:00-6:00pm is Reverse Scares. Children attending are encouraged to dress up and scare the characters on the trails! Groups departing after 5:45 may complete some of the hike during the scare times starting at 6pm. At this time, our volunteers begin to scare patrons.
- While this is a family friendly event, night time hikes can be quite scary for children. Plan accordingly - you know your child best.
- Patrons should expect jump scares, loud noises, and/or flashing lights.
This event is our largest fundraiser of the year, and it would not be possible without the gracious people that volunteer their time to help create scenes, set-up the trails, dress-up as spooky characters, and other behind the scenes tasks! A HUGE thank you to our Haunted Hike volunteers and supporters!
