If you're looking for a creepy Halloween hike, look no further than the Doll's Head Trail in Dekalb County's Constitution Lakes Park, just south of downtown Atlanta. This short hike is known for the weird artifacts planted through the woods, such as bricks, toys, and other things you might not expect. Most notably, the trail gets its name from a series of grotesque rotting doll heads that line the trail.
