State Park.
Due to COVID-19, the park will offer haunted drive-thrus
instead of hayrack rides in 2020; guests will self-drive the
route in their own vehicles in order to maintain social
distancing.
Confirmed activities include take-home crafts, "creepy
crawly" animal programs, pumpkin sales, and campground
and cabin decorating contests. The pumpkin rolling obstacle
course will not be available this year. The pumpkin carving
contest is to be determined.
