The nights are getting cooler, the kids are back in school and the leaves are changing. But wait, don't winterize that camper just yet! There are plenty of family-friendly activities taking place this fall in Michigan State parks and recreation areas across the state.

Hay rides, trick-or-treating, costume contests, cider & donuts, haunted trails, nature programs and horse-drawn carriage rides are just a few of the many activities taking place throughout the state during the months of September and October. Check out the Harvests and Haunts calendar below to find an event near you.

Please note: Events taking place in a campground are usually open only to registered campers. To reserve a campsite, please call 1-800-447-2757 or visit www.midnrreservations.com.
