‘Minnesota’s Most Terrifying Hayride’ Kicks Off This Month

We are lucky to have so many amazing haunted attractions in our neck of the woods like Hellwig Hollow and the Haunted Shack.

I am someone who celebrates Halloween season all year long but now that fall is in the air and it seems like our hot days are behind us for now, we can really start kicking off spooky season.

The cool thing about the haunted attractions we have in the Northland is that they all offer something different! The Haunted Shack is historic and so well-known, while Hellwig Hollow has already made a big name for itself.

There's also the Haunted Forest, which takes you through the woods, and the famous Haunted Ship. I go every year and that one is not for the faint of heart! One of my favorites outside of the Duluth area opens this weekend.

The Best Haunted Attraction Outside Our Region Opens Friday (September 19th)

You've probably heard of or have been to the Dead End Hayride. The attraction is about two hours from Duluth, and has a reputation of being called 'Minnesota's Most Terrifying Haunted Hayride' by the public and even national publications.

The attraction is a hayride and they always pull out all the stops. Even standing in line is scary! There's also little shops and great food options if you want a little snack after being terrified. No big deal.
