Flannel? Check. Cider? Check. A reason to wander through rows of towering stalks of corn in search of a hidden exit? Absolutely. With the launch of the first-ever Ohio Corn Maze Trail, TourismOhio has given fall lovers a whole new way to embrace the season. The statewide trail connects 46 corn mazes and autumn attractions into one big adventure — and it’s all live now at Ohio.org.
A Trail Full of Twists, Treats, and Tradition
Whether you’re a donut-in-one-hand, cider-in-the-other kind of person or you live for the thrill of getting “just a little” turned around in the middle of a maze, the Ohio Corn Maze Trail has something to offer. These aren’t just any fields. They’re family farms, orchards, and even wineries that turn their land into full-blown fall playgrounds.
We’re talking:
- Hayrides and pick-your-own pumpkins
- Petting zoos and jumping pillows
- Giant slides and cozy market barns
- Hot donuts and cold cider
“This trail is a fun reminder that supporting local agriculture also means supporting jobs, communities, and family traditions,” said Lydia Mihalik, Director of the Department of Development.
Highlights from the Trail
Here are a few standout stops along the trail:
- The MAiZe at Little Darby Creek (Milford Center): This year’s maze honors Ohio State’s own Head Coach Ryan Day. A must-visit for Buckeye fans.
- Niederman Family Farm (Liberty Township): A fan favorite with a 4-acre maze, wagon rides, farm animals, and evening bonfire pits perfect for s’mores.
- Regal Vineyard’s Adventure Farm (Madison): Featuring a massive maze shaped into the “Ohio, The Heart of it All” logo, plus plenty of farmyard fun.
And for the younger explorers in your group, there’s a downloadable Corn Maze Trail activity page, complete with a maze based on Regal Vineyards and a coloring sheet to help pass the car ride to your next stop.

Fall Memories Await
The Corn Maze Trail is just the start. The seasonal page at Ohio.org is packed with ideas for leaf-peeping in Ohio’s parks, spooky haunts, and charming small-town strolls. It’s a one-stop shop for planning your ideal fall weekend — or several.
“Get out there, get lost, and make some memories,” said Sarah Wickham, state tourism director. “That’s what fall in Ohio is all about.”
So lace up your boots, bring a sense of direction (or don’t), and tag your adventures with #FallinOhio and #OhioTheHeartofitAll. There’s no better time to explore the corniest parts of the Buckeye State.
