Clifton Haunted Trail
Clifton, VA ∙ Approx 20 miles from Dulles Airport
You have one night to conquer your fears this year and travel these half-mile-long haunted paths! Winding through a Civil War-era town already known for its ghost stories — and for the legendary Bunny Man Bridge — this one is very scary, so bring younger kids at your own discretion.
Select Nights, Oct 2-31, 2026
Haunted Hollow @ Maple Tree Farm
Warrenton, VA ∙ Approx 35 miles from Dulles Airport
Creep through the barns of an abandoned farm after dark on this haunted trail at Maple Tree Farm, if you dare! The nearly mile-long path winds in and around the old barns, with frights lurking in the shadows that’ll leave you breathless by the time you reach the end.
Select Nights, Oct 3-30, 2026
Dark Encounters @ Workhouse Arts Center
Lorton, VA ∙ Approx 35 miles from Dulles Airport
In 1996, five friends chasing Virginia folklore vanished, leaving behind an abandoned car and a smashed camcorder. Thirty years later, the restored footage is ready to be seen on this all-new trail. Admission is fee-based, but the Grooveyard party — music, karaoke, and vendors — is open to all, even without a trail ticket.
These take over the whole park after dark, and every guest needs their own admission ticket, no matter how young.
