This October, grab your broom (or kayak) and conjure up some waterborne mischief with fellow witches before gliding into the ghostly gloaming for a spooky paddle packed with eerie tales and howling laughter.
It’s one supernatural weekend full of costumes, cackles, and creepy coves—just watch out for lake spirits with fashion opinions. It’s a magical mash-up of spells and splashes!
Explore Lake Johnson by moonlight (or late afternoon into dusk) with an experienced guide. Participants will enjoy a relaxed paddle while hearing haunted legends from Raleigh’s history and spooky tales inspired by the park’s own secluded coves.
Between ghost stories, learn about Lake Johnson’s natural history and nocturnal wildlife. Costumes encouraged (if paddling-safe)! There will be a costume contest at the end of the paddle and a prize for best dressed! All equipment provided. Participants under 16 must be registered and accompanied with an adult.
