Wakonda State Park will host its annual Spooktacular Halloween event on Saturday, Oct. 25. Activities will take place in the Boulder Lake and Wakonda Lake campgrounds.
Registered campers may choose to participate in the park’s campsite decorating contest for the chance to win a prize. Judging will begin at 3 p.m, and prizes will be awarded to the top three sites at the end of the night.
There will also be campground trick-or-treating that is open to both campers and day-use visitors. To limit congestion and promote safety, trick-or-treaters will park at the Wakonda Beach parking lot and be transported to the campgrounds by tram.
All activities are free, but regular camping fees apply. Camping reservations can be made online or by calling 877-422-6766.
