Bethel Haunted Forest — Attraction in East Bethel

The Bethel Trail Squad volunteers have done an excellent job in creating and maintaining these year-round hiking and biking singletrack trails for everyone.

There is bonus fun to be had, in the many leftover highlights to be discovered distributed throughout the former Haunted Forest entertainment attraction.

This is a cool place and the trails are fun and unique BUT due to recent storms, there’s a ton of trees down blocking the trails . So naturally we went around and over the downed trees which then led to us getting totally lost . There are arrows to follow but because of all the trees down- you couldn’t really go that way. We should have just turned around and went back to our car right away . We did eventually find our way out before it got dark but I’d advise not going there until the storm damage...
