Pennsylvania Corn Maze Voted No. 3 Best in America

It's corn maze season, which is always a good thing. Going to a corn maze is just an autumn appropriate-activity that is hard to pass up. As it turns out Pennsylvania has one of the best corn mazes in all of America.

The study was done by USA Today's 10.best.com site. "Every fall, farms across the country transform their cornfields into interactive mazes, perfect for a fall family outing," they state. "There are more than 500 of these mazes across the nation, but our readers have helped us narrow it down to 20 of the most exemplary, both for the quality of the maze itself and for the wealth of other activities that are offered."

Of course, I was curious about the No. 1 best corn maze in America, and why it was picked as No. 1. According to the polling, it's at Treworgy’s Family Orchard in Maine. "Host to the largest continually running corn maze in the state, Treworgy’s Family Orchard’s maze covers over four acres and consists of 60,000 corn plants grown to a height of ten feet. Each year, family members design and plant a new maze using traditional surveying and drafting methods." That sounds delightful.

So, what about Pennsylvania? Cherry Crest Adventure Farm in Ronks, Pennsylvania. It was actually voted No. 3 on the list, which is exciting. "Located in Pennsylvania’s Dutch Country, Cherry Crest Adventure Farm’s Amazing Maize Maze covers five acres, includes 2.5 miles of paths and claims the title of 'America’s longest running corn maze,'" the publication states about the corn maze. "Guests spend an hour or more navigating the maze with the help of Maze Masters, clues and a gameboard." I've actually never been there, but now it's on my fall to-do list to definitely go and check it out. Find the full list of the 10 best corn mazes in America via USA Today here.

Fall is upon us, and that means it's time to start planning out your fall foliage travels. Here in Pennsylvania, we have plenty of incredible spots to take in the colorful fall leaves. We're really lucky, in that sense, so have such a beautiful autumn landscape.

So, what if you want to visit an area of the state that's isn't an obvious one for fall colors? Maybe you would even call it a "secret" place. Well, the crew at BestLifeOnline.com has done the work for you and put together a list of the 10 best "secret places" in the U.S. to see fall foliage. "Summer's end signals the last days of warm weather in most areas," they state in the article. "But it also means the return of fall's dazzling colors in full display as trees begin to turn for the season. You can plan entire trips around leaf peeping, whether it's heading to a national park for unimpeded foliage or planning a drive to take in the dazzling orange, red, and yellow hues that dominate the landscape. And while the pastime is popular enough to drive crowds to well-known viewing destinations, there are still plenty of under-the-radar options for getting your fix."

So, which Pennsylvania spot is considered one of the best "secret places" to take in autumn? There are plenty of options in our state, but read on for the full list of the 10 best cities in the U.S. to view fall foliage, according to BestLifeOnline.com. Find more information on all of the areas here. I will say that the No. 1 spot is not in our state- it's in Julian, California. That town is about an hour east of San Diego and considered the best in America to not only see the fall colors but also participate in fall-themed activities.
