The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) invites everyone to enjoy a series of candlelight events this fall, showcasing the beauty of state-managed properties after dark. Kicking off on Saturday, October 12, visitors can explore illuminated walks at Council Grounds and Kohler-Andrae state parks, with more events running through November 2.
Many events feature family-friendly activities such as pumpkin carving, campfires, and refreshments like hot chocolate and cider. Some parks will have facilities for grilling or roasting marshmallows.
Volunteers play a crucial role in making these events successful. If you’re interested in volunteering, visit the Volunteer Impact System webpage or contact a Friends Group.
For a complete list of candlelight hikes, check the DNR’s Events Calendar. Most properties require a 2024 Wisconsin state park vehicle admission pass, which can be checked out at participating libraries.
