Trail Details
The Constitution Trail provides the perfect setting to get spooked! The Haunted Trail takes place on two weekends in October.

Participants should line up behind Normal City Hall Annex at 100 E. Phoenix Avenue. The haunting begins after crossing Vernon Avenue and continues to the Connie Link Amphitheatre (approximately ¼ mile). Be prepared to be spooked by sound and lighting effects (strobe lighting is included), spooky creatures and displays. Persons with conditions that can be aggravated by strobe lighting should not attend this activity. Free face painting and hot chocolate will be at the end of the trail!

There is a strict limitation to 1,600 adults and children per night. As soon as the maximum (1,600 people) has been reached the trail will be closed. The scary weekend is recommended for ages 13+ or accompanied by an adult.

There is a $2 per person charge. The first weekend only canned food donations will count towards a free admission. Canned food donations will also be accepted the second weekend but will not count toward free admission. Donations will go to a local food pantry. Flyer (PDF)
