What is the Haunted Hunt?
The Haunted Hunt is a family-friendly scavenger hunt that will lead you down the North River Preserve's beautiful riverside trail. The 1.1 mile out-and-back trail will be decorated with seasonal, nature-themed items. Along the trail will be "stations" with interesting facts about autumn's most famous–and infamous–plants & animals. On each fact sheet will be a clue, and the clues will lead to a “treasure chest” full of goody bags.
Goody bags will include a small amount of candy as well as non-edible items, a fun seasonal recipe to try at home, and a child-friendly craft. They will be created as needed 24 hours in advance, and will be labelled with the names of children who are signed up for the Hunt. Bags will be placed in the "treasure chest" in the morning on Saturday and Sunday prior to the start of the Hunt, and any unclaimed bags will be collected at the end of the day to prevent damage by mischievous wildlife.
How to participate:
Sign up above with the day you wish to participate and the names of any children who will be attending
Your 'appointment confirmation' email will include a link to the scavenger hunt form and other activity information, as well as a map of the North River Preserve.
Please practice good trail etiquette. Although participation is by appointment, there are people who walk the trail regularly for enjoyment & exercise, and we expect to see a slightly higher than usual volume of traffic during this time. If you come across another group or individual on the trail, please step to the side of the trail and turn to make way.
