Zombies Take to the Woods at Silver Bay on Lake George

Halloween Zombie Trail on Lake George

An Adirondack walk usually involves looking for wildlife. At Silver Bay YMCA this October, the quarry is considerably less alive.

The Zombie Trail Walk returns to the Horn Memorial Nature Trail in Silver Bay, on Lake George, every Friday evening in October 2026.

Participants receive a Nerf Gelfire Blaster before heading onto the trail to look for zombies. The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce describes the hike as easy in skill level, giving this Halloween outing an outdoor, interactive twist.

For those who enjoy a little seasonal suspense with their fresh air, the combination has its appeal: an Adirondack nature trail, an evening walk, and a reason to pay rather more attention to the woods.

A Lake George Halloween outing with a mission.

The nature trail gives this event its Adirondack character. The woods supply the backdrop, and participants join the zombie hunt themselves, blasters in hand. Anyone who likes Halloween activities with some movement and a playful mission should find the premise enticing.

The easy hiking designation describes the physical activity, rather than the intensity of the scares. Families with younger children should ask Silver Bay about age recommendations and what participants will encounter before planning a visit.

ADK Taste recommendation.

Plan around the event’s one-hour evening window and confirm the trail meeting point before arriving. Closed-toe walking shoes and a warm layer make sense for an October outing in the woods.

The current listings reviewed did not include admission prices, registration requirements, or age limits. Visitors should check the official Zombie Trail Walk page or Facebook profile for participation details and any weather-related changes before heading over.
