Haunted Forest Walk

Friday, October 24, 2025 · 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM

Hawthorne Hill Woods will be transformed into a thrill of seven scary scenes, complete with all sorts of creatures that slither and groan. Patrons will wind their way through the haunted forest trail which will feature scary characters and around every dark corner will lurk a new horror.
