There's something evil lurking in the woods...

Dearborn Haunted Trail: Creatures of the Woods, presented by Ford Community Relations, returns to Ford Field Park on October 16-18, 2026. From 7:00 - 9:30 PM each night, guests may brave our wooded trails as disturbing cryptids of legend haunt every dark corner.

Adults (18+) seeking more intense scares may purchase tickets for our Witching Hour, powered by Mustang Fence. This experience offers an extended hour of the trail with intensified frights exclusively from 10:00 - 11:00 PM.

Families who prefer treats over tricks can enjoy a sensory-friendly trick-or-treating trail experience on Friday, October 16 from 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. This special hour is free to attend, though registration is encouraged.

 Feeling hungry? Order cider, donuts, and s'mores kits at our Treat Tent to enjoy by the warmth of bonfires in our Fire Pit Lounge. Additionally, local food trucks will be serving delicious eats to the backdrop of a live DJ in our Party Pavilion!

See you there... if you dare.
