You’ll also find Halloween-themed events at Forestry-managed Starve Hollow SRA, as well as the Division of Outdoor Recreation’s Redbird SRA for off-road vehicles (ORVs).
For details regarding a Halloween event near you, or one that’s well worth a road trip, see stateparks.IN.gov/3282.htm, under “Fall Festivals at a Glance.”
