Before you go out trick-or-treating on Halloween, join us for a morning of hiking and folklore at one of New Jersey's fright sites.

We'll meet at the legendary birthplace of the Jersey Devil in Leeds Point, Atlantic County. A mythical creature often described as a flying biped with hooves, the Jersey Devil is said to still inhabit the Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey. Free, advance registration requested.

Sponsored by the NJ Conservation Foundation.

We start with an old-fashioned campfire (bring your hot dogs & marshmallows!) We calm our nerves with some good, old-time music. Then, with a little ghostly light from the moon, we search the woods, cautiously, for that most infamous denizen of the Pine Barrens.

Pre-registration required. $15/person. Registration available online.
