New Haven, Connecticut, is full of charm and gorgeous in the fall. According to a new article from Fodor's Travel, it is one of the most underrated and picturesque in the Northeast.
Fodor's Travel says travelers should visit New Haven for cozy fall fun, including pumpkin patches, ghost tours, apple picking, and unbelievable fall foliage.
"There's nothing like the charm of Connecticut in Fall. And New Haven isn't just home to Yale University – there are plenty of fall-focused activities to embark on here in autumn," the travel website reported.
Fodor's Travel recommends skipping overcrowded Fall destinations and heading to underappreciated spots, such as Westerly, Rhode Island over Newport, the Catskills over the Finger Lakes in New York, and New Haven over Greenwich, Connecticut.
Pumpkin Patches and Corn Mazes
The best pumpkin patches in the New Haven area are at Lyman Orchards, Bishop Orchards, and Jones Family Farms. Lyman Orchards offers the experience of picking your pumpkins straight from the field to find the perfect one for a Jack O'lantern.
Bishop Orchards and Jones Family Farms offer a more traditional pumpkin patch, with pumpkins stacked high waiting to find a home.
Lyman Orchards and Bishop Orchards also offer apple picking with dozens of varieties of apples. Different apples are ready to pick throughout the season, so you will want to check before you go.
Lyman Orchards is full of fall festivity with a massive corn maze that will take you at least an hour to get through. Lyman's Apple Barrel Market sells the best Apple Cider Donuts and Apple Pie.
Jones Family Farms has a hayride perfect for getting into the Fall spirit. The ride lasts about 20 minutes and goes through the woods on the farm.
