2023 Michigan Fall Bucket List

Savor Fresh Cider and Donuts

Cider and donuts go hand in hand during a Michigan fall, and Knaebe's Apple Farm & Ciderworks near Alpena offers freshly made cider and donuts along with a whole host of other treats.

Visit Gene the Pumpkin Man’s Market in Kalamazoo

If you love getting to know the people behind the pumpkin patches, then you absolutely have to make the trip to Kalamazoo to meet Gene the Pumpkin Man.

Experience Fall Camping at Waterloo State Recreation Area

As the largest state park in the Lower Peninsula, Waterloo is home to a variety of camping options, including modern, rustic, backpack-only, overnight lodging and equestrian sites. 

Conquer the Corn Maze at Harvest Moon Acres in Gobles

One of the best corn mazes in the state is in Gobles in Southwest Michigan. Harvest Moon Acres stretches over 5 acres and challenges those brave enough to step inside with questions, twisty pathways, and a quest to find different picture rubbings.

Gobble Your Way Through a Turkey Trot

Before the Thanksgiving Feast, hundreds of runners get into the holiday spirit with festive costumes and some friendly competition. The trot itself (a 5K) can be completed by running, walking, or even crawling, so it’s perfect for the whole family.
