Walk of the Dead Haunted Trail is now open Fridays and Saturdays in October from 7:00 – 11:00 pm. Located behind Lakeside Water Park (1033 S Lake Storey Road, Galesburg) the haunted trail offers patrons a terrifying haunted walk through the woods. In its eighth year of operation, Walk of the Dead Haunted Trail is managed by the non-profit AGES Community in cooperation with the City of Galesburg. The cost is $20 per person.
“This year’s trail is the longest trail we’ve done, almost twice as long as last year’s trail,” says organizer Darla Krejci. “We have some new scares and some old favorites. Every year we do things differently, so if you’ve come a previous year, we promise this year will be different.”
Organizers recommend the haunt to children older than 13 years of age. The event is entirely outdoors and weather permitting so please dress accordingly. No open toed shoes, slippers, flip-flops or slides allowed.
Proceeds from the haunted trail help support the city’s nature programs and other recreational activities including the Fishing Derby. AGES Community has also shared proceeds with local non-profits including the VNA, the Hygiene Pantry, Huntington’s Disease Society of America, various food pantries, the library youth, Junk for Jingles and Knoxville Key Club.
