TALLAHASSEE – Across the state, Florida
residents and visitors are invited to enjoy a spooktacular Halloween at a state
park. Walk along a trail where zombies, witches and ghosts lay in wait for their next visitor. Take a haunted tram or hayride, if you dare, winding down a scary path of unknown terror. Smaller ghouls and goblins can also enjoy scare-free versions of haunted trails and rides at many state parks.
Run for your life during a Monster Mile and Creature 5K at Weeki Wachee Springs State Park in Spring Hill. Visit one-of-a-kind scarecrows at Alfred B. Maclay Gardens State Park in Tallahassee. Crystal River Preserve State Park will host a "Terrifying Tram Tour” through the fearsome forest, a “Slimy Swamp Walk,” and
a “Beastly Boat Ride” down the Crystal River. Let the rangers at Savannas Preserve State Park in Port St. Lucie and De Leon Springs State Park in De Leon take you on a haunted trail hike.
