Haunted Halloween Hike

MOUNT AYR – Join the Ringgold County Conservation Board (RCCB) for a Haunted Halloween Hike Saturday, Oct. 21, at the Dragoon Trace Nature Center at Poe Hollow Park, east of Mount Ayr on State Hwy 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.

Registration for the hike will be at the Dragoon Trace Nature Center and a guide will lead you to the beginning of the trail. Groups of no more than 10 will leave every 10 minutes from the nature center and travel through Poe Hollow to the Ringgold Trailway and come back on the east trail into Poe Hollow and end at Hawkins Hideaway Shelter (enclosed shelter) where you will receive a hayride back to the nature center.

Many activities will be offered while you wait for your hike. Cocoa and coffee, cookies and a bounce house will greet you at the shelter house at the end of your hike.

Entry fees for this event are $10 for adults and $5 for students. All proceeds of this event go towards the Dragoon Trace Nature Center.

To register for a time slot at this event, contact the RCCB at 641-464-2787. Same day registrations are allowed. RCCB started taking reservations Oct. 2.
