With the changing leaves, we’re geared up for so many fall activities near Bloomsburg, PA. Experience our stunning display of fall foliage and lots of fall fun, including traditional pumpkin patches, corn mazes, and hayrides! Try one, a few, or enjoy them all.
Corn Mazes and Pumpkin Patches
Kohls Stony Hill Tree Farm Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch
3319 Mexico Rd, Milton PA
Kohls Stony Hill Tree Farm has all the iconic fall fun you either experienced as a kid or wished you had! Hayrides are starting September 14 and continuing through November 4. The star of the show is the corn maze, which covers a 7-acre lot with over 3 miles of trails. Try the shorter one if you aren’t excited about exploring the long course. Two things to remember: first, purchase a pass in advance, and second, bring a flashlight if you are coming after dark. Challenge your friends and family! Your pass to the corn maze also gives you access to the Giant Lawn Games set up right next to the maze.
Along with the hayrides and the maze, you can buy tickets to test your skill with the Corn Cannon and the Pumpkin Chunkin. With the Corn Cannon, you shoot half ears of corn at targets, while the Pumpkin Chunkin is a giant slingshot for hurling pumpkins. You can buy single or multiple shots at either. Finally, stroll through the patch, and pick pumpkins for carving or decoration to bring home.
And, since Kohls IS a Christmas Tree Farm, stop in the Christmas store, and get an early start on your holiday shopping.
Rohrbach’s Farm Market
240 Southern Drive, Catawissa PA
Take the challenge! Try the fun apple slingshot, where you aim at farm hillbilly vehicles. Don’t forget the pumpkins. Go and pick your favorites to use for fall decorations and jack o’lanterns. Rohrbach’s also has a corn maze on their property. The farm market will also be full of gourds, Indian corn, and cornstalks. Save plenty of time to visit the bakery, deli, and winery once you have worked up an appetite.

Near the Inn, Farmhouse, and Brewing Co. at Turkey Hill in Bloomsburg, PA, you can see early fall color at Bald Eagle State Forest, where black gum and red maples have started to turn red. At Loyalsock State Forest, red and sugar maples show early red, orange, and yellow touches. If you want to try to predict peak color, keep your eye on the weekly foliage report.
