Looking for a fun and spooky way to celebrate Halloween? 🎃 Jiggs Landing is bringing the thrills to the water and the trails with two exciting Halloween events that the whole family can enjoy. From the eerie Haunted Boat Cruise, where you’ll set out on the water after dark, to the FREE Haunted Walk, there are plenty of opportunities for spooky stories, creepy surprises, and Halloween fun. Gather your family and friends and get ready for a memorable night at Jiggs Landing!
When the sun goes down, Jiggs Landing changes. This Halloween season, the peaceful boardwalk transforms into a realm of spooky lights and chilling characters, inviting brave souls to experience the brand-new Jiggs Landing Haunted Boat Ride.
Once visitors leave the dock, there’s no turning back. Guests will cruise straight into the absolute darkness of Ward Lake, enveloped by black water, shadowy trees, and things they might wish they hadn’t seen. As the boat drifts through the eerie stillness, passengers may hear something moving in the woods or catch a glimpse of something unexplainable lingering along the shoreline.
Organizers have issued a strict warning for all who dare to board: Whatever you do… don’t look behind you.
The lake has always had stories, but this year, riders don't just hear the legends—they become part of one.
