Pickwick Landing State Park will be hosting our 5th annual Scarybook Trail event for park guests and the surrounding community! There will be a short wagon shuttle from the Marina parking lot to the storybook trail for a spooky 0.25-mile hike with a Fun Spooky Story! Along the trail, you can help Park Rangers solve a series of fun park animal mysteries. The trail is filled with spooky nighttime sounds, creepy crawlies, animal friends, and candy. Come dressed in your favorite Halloween costume!
