The Haunted Harvest Hike that had been scheduled for Saturday has been canceled.

The hike had been moved to the Oak Ridge Marina because of a deer hunt at Haw Ridge that does not allow foot traffic, but the 2015 Kids Count 5k!, a competitive road race to benefit the Child Advocacy Center of Anderson County, is also on Saturday at the Oak Ridge Marina.

Organizers were concerned that the two events could cause confusion and limit parking, so they canceled the Haunted Harvest Hike. They plan to schedule an event as soon as possible.

“Thank you for your interest,” a notice said.

The location has changed for the Haunted Harvest Hike on Saturday, October 31. The new location is the Oak Ridge Marina Pavilion.

The Haunted Harvest Hike will start at the marina pavilion and leave promptly at 9 a.m. Saturday, organizers said. The hike is scheduled to last until about 11 a.m.

“Please feel free to get in the Halloween spirit early and come in costume,” organizers said. Costumes are encouraged but not required.

The hike includes Phase 1 of the Melton Lake Greenway. Phase 2 and 3 may be included for longer distances. This is either a 2.6-mile “out and back” walk, or if you choose 2 and 3 together, it will be 4.6 miles. The walk path has varied elevations and can accommodate bicycles and strollers.
