🌙✨ Moonlit Goth Hike at Muskegon Lake Nature Preserve ✨🌙
Hosted by The Darkness Underground – Muskegon’s Goth Community
📅 Date: Friday, April 3rd
⏰ Time: 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM
(After sunset, with the moon rising high enough for gorgeous viewing—but not so late that we turn into pumpkins.)
📍 Location: Muskegon Lake Nature Preserve
2529 Lake Ave, North Muskegon, MI 49445
(Conservation Dr, North Muskegon — parking available at the trailhead)
🦇 Event Description:
Join the Goths of Muskegon for a slow, atmospheric moonlit hike through the gorgeous Muskegon Lake Nature Preserve. While April’s full moon officially already passed, April 3rd will still give us a bright, dramatic, almost-full moon—perfect for silhouettes, shadows, spooky vibes, and quiet conversation.
We’ll follow the boardwalks and shoreline trails as dusk deepens, taking in the reflection of the moon on Muskegon Lake, the calls of night birds, and that uniquely peaceful melancholy that only spring nights can offer.
All goths, alt weirdos, friends, and darkly-inclined humans are welcome. This is a chill, inclusive event—think cozy camaraderie, not speed-hiking.
🌑 What to Bring:
Comfortable walking shoes or boots
A dim/low-red light flashlight (avoid bright white beams if possible)
Weather-appropriate layers—it is Michigan
Optional: warm drink, lantern, cloak, aesthetic moody accessories
🕯 Schedule:
8:00 PM – Meet & Gather
We’ll assemble near the trailhead boardwalk. Quick intros, vibe check, and moon appreciation begins.
8:15 PM – Moonlit Group Hike
A slow-paced, 1.5–2 mile wander through the preserve.
9:30–10:00 PM – Return & Closing
Final moon-gazing, photos, and darkly wholesome goodbyes.
🌙 Notes:
Trail is fairly easy; boardwalk sections make it accessible, but be mindful of uneven footing.
This is a weather-dependent event. If the sky is fully clouded or conditions become unsafe, an update will be posted.
This is a sober, nature-centered gathering.
Come walk with us under the almost-full moon.
Let’s let the darkness be beautiful—together. 🌘
