The annual Haunting on the Lake Festival will be held Oct. 23-24 at Twin Lakes State Park, Green Bay.

The festival offers activities for every age with family fun crafts and games from 4-10 p.m. both nights.  Activities include a pumpkin patch with pumpkins to pick and paint in the park (or take home to decorate), and at 6 p.m. a child-friendly adventure trail for families will feature characters that talk about nocturnal animals and a man-made cave to explore inside the concession stand.

On Oct. 24 the park campground will open to the public at 4 p.m. for trick or treating and a costume parade. Local author Francis Wood will be on the beach telling ghost stories around the fire.  

For the older and more adventurous, from 7-10 p.m. Goodwin Lake trail will feature a mile-long trail with 12 scenes of horror (groups will be limited to 15 persons). After the trail visitors can enjoy a wagon ride back to the family area for the campfire. 

Entrance to the park and the festival are free, but there is a fee for hiking the featured trails (tickets are $5 at the concession stand). Children 3 and under are free. There is 25 percent discount on a two-night campground reservation for the festival. For more details, information or directions, contact the Park at (434) 392-3435.
