Trunk or Treat

This page will be updated as we have more information. 

Come on out to Diamond Lake for an afternoon of fall fun! 

From 2:30 - 3:30 Trunk or Treating will be held in the "new campground" (sites 42-72)

If you are camping for the weekend, and would like to decorate your site and hand out candy set up in one of those sites. If that campground fills up consider setting a up a table or vehicle in the overflow parking areas, so you can still participate! 

Sites will be numbered and visitors can vote for their favorite! The top 3 places will receive certificates for free nights of camping. Please remember this is a family friendly event!

As people finish Trunk or Treating, from 3:00- 6:00 we'll have more activities in the park including hayrack rides, fresh pressed apple cider, pumpkin decorating, archery (for 1st grade and up), and more!  Hayracks will depart from near the main campground marsh 

Depending on ground conditions parking will be available in front of the ranger house, on the hill near the trunk or treat loop, and near the pond east of the lake. 

The campground will function as normal. Sites are offered on a first come, first served basis (we expect the park to fill up so you may want to come claim your site earlier in the week), quiet hours begin at 10 pm, no ATV/UTVs in the park, etc.
