Inclement weather leads to state park event cancellations

Fort Robinson State Park and Enders Reservoir State Recreation Area in western Nebraska have called off Halloween festivities Oct. 28 due to cold, icy conditions forecasted in the area.

Haunted Camping at Enders Reservoir is still hosting its Oct. 27 festivities starting at 4 p.m. They include a pumpkin carving contest, games, campsite decorating contest, costume contest and Haunted Trail hike. See the event listing at Calendar.OutdoorNebraska.gov for a complete schedule.

Those interested in attending other Nebraska Game and Parks events this weekend should call ahead before leaving home to check for additional cancellations at locations across the state. Contact information can be found in the event listings at Calendar.OutdoorNebraska.gov.

The National Weather Service has forecasted freezing rain and snow over the next several days. Freezing rain began falling in western Nebraska on Thursday. The eastern half of Nebraska is expected to see similar conditions by Saturday.

Updated Oct. 27, 2023, to address Saturday-only cancellation at Enders Reservoir.
