Richard Bong State Recreation Area invites you to participate in the Annual Eco-Halloween Hike on Saturday, Oct. 20, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. This is a non-scary, family event.
You are invited to join a guide to hike the trails by the light of luminaries and Jack-O-Lanterns as you visit some “Wildlife Olympians.”
Meet at Shelter #1 anytime from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Visit the registration table first thing to sign up for a hike time.
While you wait for your hike to leave, you can enjoy crafts and/or Halloween games.
Refreshments such as hot dogs, chips, homemade treats and hot and cold drinks will be for sale at reasonable costs. There will be a bonfire with marshmallows.
All proceeds from food sales and tips benefit the Bong Naturalist Association, an all-volunteer group who supports the park.
