Lake Harding's Most Fun Family Halloween Tradition 🎃⚓
What is Dock-or-Treat?
Dock-or-Treat is Lake Harding's most beloved Halloween tradition! Each year, families decorate their docks and boats in festive Halloween style as the whole community comes together for a fun-filled afternoon on the water.
Costumed trick-or-treaters travel from dock to dock collecting treats, admiring amazing decorations, and soaking up the incredible Lake Harding atmosphere. It's the most fun afternoon on the lake all year — and a tradition families look forward to every single October!
