Pumpkin Patch Train Ride in Ohio

August 20, 2022

Are there any other fall train rides in Ohio?

There's nothing quite like fall in Ohio, and our favorite way to revel in the abundance of fall foliage in the Buckeye State might just be aboard a scenic train ride. And the autumn train ride in Ohio's one-and-only national park might just be the best in the state! You can take a scenic ride through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park on select dates throughout the year, but these rides are undeniably magical in the autumn. The Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad follows part of a historic railroad that once crossed through the land currently encompassed by Ohio's only national park. Trains have been a prevalent aspect of culture in this part of Ohio for more than a century, an aspect that helped local towns like Jaite Mill develop. The Fall Flyer is an annually anticipated ride that appeals to riders of various ages -- and for good reason. This two-hour trip will show you the loveliest landscapes the national park has to offer, and it is truly a fan favorite. All in all, the Cuyahoga Valley is simply stunning in the fall, with an array of colors you just get can't get during any other season.

What are some of the best pumpkin patches to visit in Ohio?

Some of our favorite pumpkin patches to visit in Ohio include family favorites like Blooms and Berries in Loveland, Shaw Farms in Milford, Lehner's Pumpkin Patch in Radnor, Young's Jersey Dairy in Yellow Springs, Porter's Pumpkin Patch in Pomeroy, and Brown's Family Farm Market in Hamilton. In terms of pumpkin festivals, nothing beats the annual Circleville Pumpkin Show, touted as the "Greatest Free Show on Earth" that's truly a bucket-list must for Ohioans each fall!
