Can’t-Miss Fall Experiences

Pumpkin Patches, Corn Mazes & Farm Fun

• Willow View Farms — A local favourite for u-pick apples and pumpkins, plus a farm store (hello, apple-cider slushies!). 

Fall Colours & Relaxed Walks

• Mill Lake Park — A flat, family-friendly 2.1 km loop with boardwalk sections, playgrounds, and lakeside views — perfect for a crisp-air stroll and photos. 
• Historic Clayburn Village — Wander early-1900s buildings like the 1907 Schoolhouse and 1912 Church for cozy, small-town vibes amid the leaves.
