About Schmeeckle's Candlelight Hike Festivals

Candlelight Hike Festivals are evening themed events that interpret the natural and cultural history of central Wisconsin. Each features loop trails lit by torches, family campfire programs presented by characters, discovery stations, crafts, games, snacks, and door prizes.
