Haunted Hikes at the Swamp
What treats (and tricks) can be discovered at Bluebonnet Swamp?
Bluebonnet Swamp Nature Center 10503 North Oak Hills Parkway, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70810
The Bluebonnet Swamp Nature Center hosts its popular, not-so-scary hikes again this year. At Halloween, the nature center trades scares and screams for laughter and learning, and presents treats along the trails and programs about snakes, insects, rats, and other maligned critters. Track down costumed characters to receive “treasures,” then trek through the Swamp Graveyard to the Education Building for carnival games and spooky storytime; but don't worry, there are no scare tactics used. Kids can wear costumes and should bring flashlights. Activities start at 6 pm, trails open at dark. $6. brec.org/hauntedhikes.
