Jack-O'-Lantern Hike - October 24-26, 2025

Nighttime Stroll

Join NICHES Land Trust for festive fun at Clegg Memorial Gardens! Families can enjoy a non-scary, nighttime stroll along a trail lit with Jack-O'-Lanterns carved by community members. It's a magical experience in nature that supports NICHES and its mission to protect, restore and sustain Northern Indiana’s ecosystems.

Set Your Own Pace

Participants can go at their own pace along a self-guided, ¾-mile-long loop in the woods. Please note that this trail includes rugged terrain with steps and hills. Sturdy shoes and a flashlight are highly recommended.

Carve a Pumpkin

Guests are also invited to vote for their favorite Jack-O'-Lantern in our 5th annual contest during the event. If you are interested in submitting a carved pumpkin for the event, click here.
