Uncle Shuck's Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch
Dawsonville, Georgia
Uncle Shuck's is Dawsonville's big fall production: a 15-acre corn maze plus a kiddie maze, unlimited wagon rides, a corn cannon, jumping pad, tire mountain, farm animals to visit, and an evening bonfire with marshmallows — all included with maze admission. The pumpkin patch and fall photo spots are free to wander even without a maze ticket. Kids under 12 need an adult with them, and outside food isn't allowed, so plan on the festival food stands.

Weekday mornings are the calm window; October weekends are the full pumpkin-pilgrimage experience.
