Ringgold County hosting haunted Halloween hike

MOUNT AYR — Join Ringgold County Conservation Board for a haunted Halloween hike Saturday at Poe Hollow Park (east of Mount Ayr on State Highway 2). A less scary version of the hike for younger participants will begin at 5:30 p.m. with the regular hike starting at 7 p.m. Cost is $10 for adults and $5 for students.

Registration for the hike will be at Hawkins Hideaway Shelter (enclosed shelter) and a guide will lead participants to the beginning of the trail. Groups (no more than 10) will leave every 10 minutes from the shelter house. The trail is similar to a one mile hike on uneven terrain. This is not suitable for strollers or walkers.

All proceeds of this event go toward funding Ringgold County Nature Center.

To register for a time slot at this event, contact Ringgold County Conservation Board at 641-464-2787. Same day registrations are allowed.
