When autumn rolls around, it makes sense to want to head outdoors. The air is crisp, the leaves are changing colors, and it’s the perfect time to make some plans in nature. If you’re looking for great outdoor activities to do in autumn, here are a few suggestions that work for groups of any size.
Apple Picking
There are many delicious fruits and vegetables that are in season in the fall months. Heading out for a day of apple picking may be just the thing to clear your head, and you can come away with some tasty treats. If apples aren’t plentiful in your area, you may find other options for harvesting autumn crops, like finding a farm where you can pick your own pumpkins for jack-o’-lanterns.
Fishing Trip
When looking to explore nature during the autumn months, getting out on the lake and spending an afternoon fishing or lounging is a superb option. Before casting off, make sure you have everything you need for a day on the lake. Once you’re out on the water, nothing is standing between you and a relaxing day of fishing.
Seasonal Fairs and Events
When you’re looking for great outdoor activities to do in autumn, it’s always a smart idea to see what’s going on in your specific region. Fall is when a lot of local county fairs and festivals take place since the weather is so pleasant. Whether you’re looking for local farmers markets or a Halloween hay maze, we highly recommend seeing what local happenings are nearby.
Nature Hikes
Going for a hike during the autumn is a magical experience. An outdoor journey allows you to see the leaves up close as they change color for the season and accompany many birds and other wildlife as they prepare for the winter. If you’re a fan of wildlife, autumn is a great time to explore your nearby nature trails and see what you may stumble upon.
