01 · THE STORY
Follow the lights into the October woods.
Mirror Lake State Park hosts a Halloween-themed mystery candlelight hike on October 17. The evening walk offers families a way to experience the wooded park after dusk without turning the outing into a race.
The program is listed for 6–8 PM. It is free to attend, though a park vehicle sticker is required. Weather can affect the event, so check the DNR listing on the day of your visit.
02 · WHAT TO EXPECT
A short adventure in a familiar park.
Follow the marked route and any directions from park staff. Plan for darker trail conditions and cooler air than a daytime walk, and keep the outing comfortable for the youngest members of your group.
