Event Details:
This Halloween, grab your glow gear and join us for a fang-tastic adventure through the eerie maritime forest of Myrtle Beach State Park! As the sun sets and the spooks come out, we’ll light up the trail with ultraviolet (UV) lights to discover the hidden nightlife of nature—think glow-in-the-dark bugs, lichen-laced logs, and mysterious mushrooms that shine brighter than your trick-or-treat bag.
We’ll keep our ears open for owls whispering hoot-dunnits and bats who just want to hang out. Thanks to our super spooky bat-detecting machine, we’ll be able to “listen in” on their squeaky conversations—don’t worry, it’s not eaves-dropping, it’s bat-chatter monitoring!
This fun nighttime adventure will be led by volunteer John. Come ready to explore, discover, and see the forest in a whole new light!
Must be able to walk up to 1/2 mile.
This program is designed for ages 10 to 110.
Park admission required.
What to Wear and Bring: Be sure to wear bright, reflective clothing (or your most glow-tastic costume) so we can see you AND the spiders don’t mistake you for a tree! We will provide spooky red lights to help guide your way through the hike! You must wear closed toe shoes to go on this walk.
