– Every Saturday in October Lake Eufaula State Park calls the bravehearted to embark on a haunted trail adventure on any Saturday of the month. Gather at the park office as twilight descends, and for $3.00 per person, immerse yourself in the bone-chilling mysteries that unfold beneath the canopy of the park.

• Foss State Park – October 20-21 Beginning at dark, walk the half-mile spooky, tree-filled trail at Foss State Park. It’s full of ghosts, goblins, creepy dolls, scary clowns and even a zombie or two – an adventure you don’t want to miss!
