If you’re in the market for one of the new homes in Dawsonville GA, be sure to spend some time taking in the many places to enjoy some fall fun, while you’re at it. Dawsonville is a fantastic destination for this season, offering scenic beauty and outdoor fun.

Amicalola Falls State Park is one of Georgia’s most beautiful natural attractions, especially in the fall. Filled with the colorful autumn foliage, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views and plenty of photo opportunities. The park is a perfect spot for hiking, picnicking, and more. Don’t miss the scenic 729-foot waterfall, the tallest in the Southeast. There are hiking trails for a range of abilities, so you can hike to the base of the falls or explore the easier trails that wind through the park.

While the Dawsonville Moonshine Festival might not be an obvious family outing, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. The 57th edition of the festival is taking place October 25-27, 2024. As well as celebrating the town’s rich history in the production of moonshine, this family-friendly event features a car show, live entertainment, a parade, arts and crafts vendors, food stalls, and even swap meets. The festival also looks at the Prohibition era and the area’s role in the development of NASCAR. It’s a fun and unique way to learn about local history while enjoying live music and activities for all ages.

Nothing says fall like a visit to Burt’s Pumpkin Farm. Located in the heart of Dawsonville, this family-owned farm is a fall favorite, offering a wide variety of pumpkins, gourds, and seasonal decorations. Children can enjoy a hayride through the farm, and parents are sure to enjoy browsing the farm store for homemade jams, honey, and baked goods.

Another popular choice is Uncle Shuck’s Corn Maze. The massive maze is perfect for both children and adults to explore, while the pumpkin patch offers opportunities for picking the perfect pumpkin. You can easily spend the whole day on the farm, enjoying the jumping pillow, tire mountain, kids maze, and gem mining. There’s even food to enjoy, such as turkey legs, burgers, hot dogs, corn dogs, roasted corn, fried Oreos, funnel cakes and more! For some extra thrills on Friday and Saturday nights, brave The Dark Rows, a unique haunted trail through some of the most twisted sections of the corn field!

Whether you’re hiking through colorful landscapes, exploring pumpkin patches, or enjoying local culture, Dawsonville has something for everyone during the fall season.
