The fee is $12 per child over 2. There is no charge for adults or children over 12 who come to enjoy the music and festivities.

A scooter is fine. In fact, some children will roller skate; others will walk. Still others make the ride in wagons or strollers.

The ride is flat and easy to manage. The route for children six and under is a quarter mile. The route for those six and over is about a mile. There will be kids on tricycles and on bikes with training wheels.

We leave it to parents to decide whether to bring children in bike carriers. The person on the bike must be an adult.

YES, we encourage bike and stroller decorating. It makes the event more festive and fun.

Halloween costumes are not required. What is most important is that children come and have a great time.

There will not be a competition for best costume. The kids are so adorable whether they wear costumes or not. It would be too hard to judge!

All children must be accompanied by an adult.

There will be lots of photos. A photographer will be on hand. Select photos will be posted on the LHT’s website a few days after the event. Participants are encouraged to take photos and share them with us by submitting them here or sending them to info@lhtrail.org.

There will be cake pops, candy, and other goodies. While we try to avoid products with nuts, we cannot guarantee that the goodies are nut or gluten free. Additional treats will be fun Halloween items like colored pencils, rubber skeletons, and pirate coins.

Refreshments will not be available. Please bring water or other snacks as you see fit.

The entire route is within Village Park. It is flat and paved. No vehicle traffic is allowed in the park. The route will be supervised by adult volunteers. For children under six, the route is a half mile; for those over six, a mile.

Unfortunately, there is not a rain date. Check our website beginning at noon on October 25 for the decision about cancellation in the event of bad weather.

There is a large parking area near the pavilion at the Yeger Street entrance.

Enter the park from the Yeger Drive entrance. Trail and Treat will be held near the pavilion. Google Map

The LHT is definitely a free amenity open to everyone. However, Trail and Treat is a special event. The fee of $12 per child helps with the direct costs of the event. Remember that the LHT is designed, built, and managed by the Lawrence Hopewell Trail Corporation, a nonprofit organization. Most of the work associated with creating and maintaining the trail has been, and continues to be, done by volunteers who raise the funds to make the trail a reality.

Funds raised from Trail and Treat will be used to offset the costs of the event. The fee does not fully cover the expenses incurred for the event.

There are a number of ways that fans of the trail can volunteer to help with maintenance, public relations, and a variety of other ways. If you are interested in volunteering, submit this form or contact us at info@lhtrail.org.
