Where is the Best Corn Maze in Michigan?

Fall in Michigan is marked by many traditions: The crunch of leaves underfoot, a beautiful spectrum of color in the trees, the smell of fresh doughnuts at a cider mill, and a nip in the air as the days grow shorter.

For many Michiganders, the arrival of fall also means visiting corn mazes. These fun, intricately designed mazes are challenging for visitors of all ages and it’s always fun to see what designs local farms and orchards come up with to welcome fall’s arrival.

We asked members of the Day Trips in Michigan Facebook group for their recommendations of the best corn maze in Michigan. So if you’re jonesing to navigate through the many twists and turns of a corn maze, add these locations to your fall bucket list.
