Family-Friendly Pumpkin Patches and Corn Mazes Near Augusta | Sprague & Curtis Real Estate

Some autumn activities you can't skip. One of them is exploring a corn maze, and another is visiting a pumpkin patch to pick your own pumpkins. There are plenty of places near Augusta homes for sale where you can do either one, and a few where you can do both - plus get a host of amazing fall produce in the process. Here are some of our favorite local corn mazes and pumpkin patches.

Treworgy Family Orchards - Levant, ME

Address: 3876 Union St, Levant, ME 04456

There's a new corn maze every year at Treworgy Family Orchards. Intricately designed not just as a labyrinthine path but as an elaborate image when viewed from above, their mazes are an annual tradition that has won national awards. Past years' designs have included:

  • Dragon and knight
  • Locomotive
  • Paul Bunyan

This year is the Statue of Liberty, and it's as much fun to explore as it is to look at. You should also do their Night Maze event, where you navigate the corridors by flashlight, Friday and Saturday, October 16 & 17 and 23 & 24. Prizes for completing the maze range from an ice cream cone to pizza and donuts to a goat!
