Fall is the perfect time to begin new family traditions. There isn’t a better way to bond with friends and family than to get outdoors in the crisp, cool air and beautiful fall colors. That’s why fall festivals and venues, such as Uncle Shuck’s Corn Maze, are must-visit locations this season.

Located off U.S. Highway 4525 in Dawsonville, Uncle Shuck’s is the epitome of a country fall festival with a variety of activities, shopping and delicious food.  Visitors can stop by the pumpkin patch to pick out the perfect pumpkin for carving or shop the decorations to buy everything needed to get a home Halloween ready.

In addition to fall shopping, there are a number of things to do with your family including a traditional country hayride along the bank of the historic Etowah River, a bonfire equipped with marshmallows for roasting and a 12-acre corn maze. If you’re feeling brave, try the haunted maze. No flashlights allowed, so you never know what might be lurking around the next bend.

Your visit to Uncle Shuck’s wouldn’t be complete without an assortment of yummy fall treats. Make sure to try the caramel corn, boiled peanuts and funnel cakes before you leave.

Uncle Shuck’s is open September through November. For more information about Uncle Shuck’s, including hours of operation and pricing of activities, visit the website.
