The Wicked Woods Haunted Trail has grown beyond what we could have ever imagined. In the 13 years of existence, we’ve gone from 40 visitors to over 1000 a night. Throughout those years, we have had an estimated 625 individual volunteers and entertained over 21,000 visitors. We’ve enjoyed seeing the smiles or fear on everyone’s faces. Our visitors gave us the energy and excitement to continue and improve every year.
Unfortunately, the Wicked Woods has grown to the point where we cannot operate safely. We have implemented many deterrents to address disrespectful, inappropriate, and aggressive behavior by some of our visitors. We have concluded that it is impossible to control the actions of others. For these reasons, we decided to look past our hearts and end Wicked Woods. We can handle the large numbers… but as the saying goes, the few have ruined it for all.
We would like to thank all the volunteers, neighbors, high school actors, friends, and family members who have supported our efforts to provide this free event for the community. We thank all the brave souls who have enjoyed and appreciated Wicked Woods throughout the years. Thanks for keeping the spirit alive.
