Enjoy Fall Views

Hanover is lucky enough to have a bustling downtown as well as beautiful countryside. Take a Sunday drive through the Pigeon Hills for stunning fall foliage, or make your way out to Long Arm Reservoir for beautiful waterfront views of cornfields and evergreen trees. Codorus State Park is also the perfect spot for leaf peeping!

We highly recommend grabbing a warm fall beverage before you take your drive; keep scrolling for our top suggestions.

Walk a Corn Maze, Pick Pumpkins, and More!

Cornfusion, located in nearby Manchester, Maryland, is a local fall favorite. The farm hosts activities for the whole family, including corn mazes (one for adults and one for kids), a petting zoo, hayrides, pumpkin patches, and so much more.

This year’s theme, "Knights and Dragons" will include lots of medieval fun; so get your suit of amour out of storage and plan your weekend adventure now...no jousting skills required!  

Cozy up to a Fall Drink

Sip the season’s best flavors with a spiced latte or chai tea! Hanover is home to several superb coffee shops, including one that specializes in all things fall and Halloween: Ghouls and Grinds!
