Golden Pond, KY – Celebrate the lives of some of our favorite Woodland Neighbors on Saturday, October 23rd, at the 16th Annual Howl-O-Ween children’s program at the Nature Station in Land Between The Lakes (LBL) National Recreation Area.

Enjoy the non-scary side of Halloween with this kid-friendly daytime environmental education program. Dress in your favorite costume and take a guided hike along our character trail where the animals of the forest will “come alive” before your eyes. Meet friendly Shelly the Skunk and Bandit the Raccoon who will entertain you with their woodsy wisdom and wit.

Howl-O-Ween will provide a great chance for children to enjoy outdoor fun and entertainment while learning about some of our wildlife. Enjoy crafts, face painting, and live animals. “The event is fun for kids of all ages and is a great way for families to spend time together while enjoying a lighthearted outdoor experience,” said Carrie Szwed, Public Programs Coordinator.
