Bundle up and come on a Candlelight Hike at Silverwood Park! Savor the beauty of the fields, prairie, and woods during this annual candlelight hike. Depending upon the conditions and group, most hikers spend about 1 hour to hike the route.

The event is a fundraiser for the Friends of Silverwood Park. SUGGESTED DONATION is $5/hiker with free parking.

After you hike, warm up around the fire pit while socializing and enjoying refreshments, available by donation in the Stone House Visitor's Center!
