Scare up Some Fun this October in Georgia

When pumpkins pop up, scarecrows make an appearance and haunted houses become Friday night hotspots, you know fall is in the air. In Georgia, this season brings fun for the entire family. From corn mazes to fall festivals and pumpkin patches to trick-or-treating, wherever you live there’s sure to be something enjoyable just around the corner.
For those who like a challenge or enjoy getting lost on purpose, visit a corn maze. The North GA Corn Maze in Cleveland is located on eight acres and contains almost three miles of trails. Explore it by day or take a flashlight and get lost at night.

There’s also the House of Burm (not for the fainthearted), hay rides and free movies under the stars every Friday and Saturday night.

Other mazes include Colonel Cobs’ Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch in Oxford; Cagle’s Dairy Farm Corn Maze in Canton and Resaca; Kackleberry Farm’s Cornfield Maize in Louisville; and Poppell Farms’ Corn Maze in Odum.
While you’re at it, visit one of Georgia’s many festivals or haunted houses. Wherever you live – south, east, west or north – you’ll find something spooky somewhere around town. Helen boasts the longest-running Oktoberfest in the United States, complete with authentic German bands, bratwursts and dancing.

In Ringgold, the city hosts an annual Haunted Depot, based on an old Southern legend that will send shivers up and down your spine.

Meanwhile, Newnan features Horror Hill and Vertigo Trails, where, if you’re brave enough, you can camp out for the night. But don’t expect a quiet night’s sleep…you never know what the darkness holds.
