Haunting at The Ridge

Oct 3, 2025 - Nov 1, 2025 99 Powder Hill Road, Middlefield, CT 06455

Haunting at The Ridge—your worst nightmares brought to life!

Powder Ridge Park is usually a peaceful mountain filled with family fun and smiling staff. But come fall, darkness creeps in, and the haunted take over. Ghouls stalk the trails. Monsters stir in the shadows.
Starting with a chair lift ride into the dark through the valley of the giants, guests will then descend on foot through the trails encountering all that haunts the mountain at night. Are you brave enough? There’s no turning back; there’s no escape!

Haunted pumpkin patches, witches covenant and the campground, where they love to welcome visitors and may never want you to leave, are just a few of the expanded features.

Opening night: October 3rd. Open every Friday, Saturday & Sunday through November 1st.

New this season – The Haunted Speakeasy

The year is 1920. Spirits flow in hushed corners, away from prying eyes. A hidden room awaits, where cocktails forbidden by law are poured with a heavy hand. Small bites pass from tray to tray as laughter and song mingle with shadows.

Find the tavern bartender. Ask the right question. Speak the password. The door will open.
6:00pm - 9:00pm
