9 Places to Take Your Walking Shoes This Fall

Tired of walking around your neighborhood? Check out these nine places you can take your walking shoes and crush your miles while embracing the fun of Fall.

  1. Pumpkin Patch: Nothing says Fall like a cluster of pumpkins, so grab your walking shoes and take in all the shapes, sizes and colors of this Fall favorite icon! Don’t forget to snap some photos with the biggest pumpkin in the patch!

  2. Corn Maze: Getting lost in a corn maze is not only fun, but you’re sure to get plenty of steps in while you find your way out. You’ll be happy to have a supportive pair of walking shoes while you navigate the twists, turns and dead ends along the way.

  3. Apple Picking: A walk through the apple trees is a perfect way to get in your miles. Grab a bushel or two of apples while you meander through the orchard, and don’t forget to refresh with a warm cup of apple cider when you’re done.

  4. Trick-or-Treating: Grab a comfy pair of shoes and your favorite little ghoul or goblin for a walk around the neighborhood to gather some tasty treats. You may even get to sneak something sweet out of the candy bucket along the way.

  5. Haunted House: Love a good scare? You’ll want to have your favorite walking shoes on when you’re trying to outrun the frights that may find you as you navigate the dark corners of a haunted house. 

  6. Ghost Tour: A cool, crisp night, a flashlight and some spooky stories about ghosts who go bump in the night can have you walking up and down streets and stairs as you try to get a glimpse of hauntings. Pile up the miles and the tales of long ago on a fun ghost tour!

  7. Leaf-Peeping: There’s nothing like taking in the beauty of nature during the Fall when leaves change to gorgeous shades or orange, red and yellow. Your walking shoes will be your best companion while you explore and appreciate the unmatched beauty.

  8. Fall Festival: From artisan booths, to candy apples, to hay rides, and games, you’ll want to be ready for the long haul as you walk through a Fall festival! Grab your walking shoes and take in all the sights and sounds of so much family fun!

  9. Farmer’s Market: Root vegetables, sweet fruits, and fresh baked goods are plentiful at this time of year, and there’s no place better to find them than at a farmer’s market. Take a stroll through stalls to stock up on fresh finds while you get some exercise in the cool Fall breeze.
