About

Come by the office to purchase a state park permit and head to the picnic grounds parking lot. Walk the candlelit loop to Big Island Campground and back, about a mile. Warm up in the picnic shelter with a cookie and punch or water by a crackling fire.

The event is free, however each vehicle needs to have a state park permit. $7 for a day permit or $35 for an annual sticker.
