Most of the events are free, though some require pre-registration. All give park visitors deeper insight into the natural world. Call the park office for more information.

We will once again be hosting our annual Trunk or Treat event! This year the event will feature a Haunted Trail run by Seven Springs Volunteer Fire Department for a requested donation of $5.00, all proceeds will go to the Fire Department. We will also have a Children’s Costume Contest for a $1.00 donation and a Decorated Jack-o-Lantern Contest for a $1.00 donation. Pre-decorated Jack-o-Lanterns must be dropped off to the park office either on Oct. 25th or by noon on Oct. 26th. Each of the contests will be to benefit the Friends of Cliffs of the Neuse State Park. Of course, the actual Trunk or Treating will be FREE!
