Haunted Hike at Castaic Lake

The Castaic Lake State Recreation Area will host its second annual Haunted Hike. The “Going to the Circus” theme will start with a terrifying hike to the haunted circus tent, and spooky lovers must be ready to master the “Paranormal Pumpkin” and the “Grim Graveyard” that lead to the “Circus of Mayhem.” According to the Castaic Lake website, participants will, “Crawl, crouch and interact with actors as they physically travel through a unique haunted experience. Obstacles include blood, slime, gore cannons, obstacle courses, slides and real balls of fire … that challenge even the [bravest].” Tickets are $10 each. All minors must be accompanied by an adult. However, the Spooktacular Kids Festival will take place for ages 12 and under on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 28, from 2 to 6 p.m. All proceeds will go toward Castaic Lake. To RSVP, visit tinyurl.com/yckyn7fn.
