Corn Mazes in North Georgia by Area

Grouping the farms by area makes it easier to turn the maze into a full-day trip or a mountain weekend. Pair an Ellijay maze with apple picking, a Cleveland maze with Helen-area attractions, or a Jasper and Dawsonville stop with a drive toward Amicalola Falls. 🍂

 

Ellijay and Talking Rock Corn Mazes

Ellijay is best known for apples, but its farm attractions also include traditional corn mazes, a scavenger-hunt maze, sheep-farm experiences, flowers, and plenty of hot cider doughnuts and fried pies.

 

B.J. Reece Orchards in Ellijay

🍎 New to this guide for 2026, B.J. Reece combines a corn-maze scavenger hunt with one of the area’s biggest collections of apple-orchard activities.

The 2026 farm activities at B.J. Reece Orchards begin August 29 and continue daily during September and October. The maze is one part of a much larger orchard outing that can also include apple picking, wagon rides, pig races, cow milking, a petting zoo, slides, an apple cannon, and bakery treats.

This is a particularly useful choice for families who want to fill most of a day in one place. Leashed dogs are welcome in the orchards, but not in the market or petting-zoo area. Weekend traffic along Highway 52 can be heavy during peak apple season, so an earlier arrival leaves more time for the maze and the rest of the farm.

 

Cress Creeks Farm in Ellijay

🐑 Follow clues through the corn, meet the sheep, and turn the maze into a relaxed farm outing with outdoor games.

The fall maze at Cress Creeks Farm takes approximately 40 minutes to one hour, with clues placed along the route to help visitors track their progress. A barrel train, lawn games, sheep feeding, and light concessions make it easy to spend about two hours at the farm.

Cress Creeks is also the most clearly dog-friendly corn maze in this guide. Leashed dogs may enter with a ticket, provided that owners bring cleanup bags and keep their dogs under control. Visitors who want to stay on the farm can reserve the on-site farmhouse pictured above.

 

Town Creek Valley Farm in Talking Rock

💐 Wind through a six-acre corn maze, then cut sunflowers or zinnias for a colorful take-home bouquet.

The family-owned Town Creek Valley Farm pairs its corn maze with pumpkins, outdoor games, photo backdrops, and a vibrant U-pick flower field. Supplies for flower cutting are provided.

The farm plans to begin its 2026 fall weekends on September 19. Weekday group visits are available by reservation. Pets are not permitted, although documented service animals are welcome.

 

Cleveland, Lakemont, and Alto Corn Mazes

These northeast Georgia farms are convenient for trips centered around Helen, Lake Burton, Clayton, Tallulah Gorge, or the Highway 365 corridor. Each offers a different mix of maze time, farm activities, and market treats.

 

Hillside Orchard Farms in Lakemont

🚂 Navigate the annual corn maze, then ride the farm train or hayride and browse the country store for jams, cider, and bakery treats.

The Hillside Orchard Farms website confirms that its annual corn maze returns in September, but it has not posted an exact 2026 maze opening date or admission price. The farm’s 2026 fall store schedule is available, and visitors can also explore the barnyard animals, indoor gem mine, playground, train, and hayride when those attractions are operating.

This is a good northeastern option to keep on the list, especially for a relaxed family stop near Lakemont and Clayton. Call or check the farm’s current social update before making a special drive for the maze.

 

Jaemor Farms in Alto

🎵 Jaemor’s 2026 maze honors Dolly Parton, then surrounds the theme with a full Harvest Celebration and plenty of famous farm-market treats.

The 2026 Harvest Celebration at Jaemor Farms opens September 12 with a butterfly release. This year’s corn maze pays tribute to Dolly Parton and connects the experience to her commitment to children’s literacy through the Imagination Library.

Every general Harvest Pass includes the corn maze, hayride, pumpkin patch, apple-cannon shots, pumpkin train, slides, games, and other farm activities. Upgraded passes add options such as U-pick flowers, gem mining, or paintball. Pets are not permitted in the activity area, pumpkin patch, maze, hayrides, market, or farm games.

 

Skitts Mountain Farms in Cleveland

🛝 Get lost in the corn, race a duck, ride the wagon, and save some energy for the Big Zipper and jumping pillows.

The 2026 fall season at Skitts Mountain Farms begins Friday, September 18. All regular farm activities are included with admission, while pumpkins, U-pick flowers, food, and drinks cost extra.

For current planning, use skittsmountain.com and the farm’s listed phone number, 844-754-8876. Only trained service animals are permitted.

 

Blue Ridge Area Corn Maze

The Morganton maze is the closest option for a Blue Ridge-centered getaway. Its current website confirms the farm experience and maze design, but the schedule still needs an update for 2026.

 

The Corn Maze at Holly Ridge Farm in Morganton

🇺🇸 The seven-acre maze sits on a 150-year-old family farm and features approximately 2.7 miles of winding paths.

The Corn Maze at Holly Ridge Farm is a family attraction with a tunnel slide, bouncy houses, photo opportunities, yard games, and a concession stand. Its current FAQ describes a maze design featuring an American flag, an eagle, and “USA.”

However, the published schedule and ticket pages still display 2025 dates and prices as of September 10, 2026. The farm appears to be preparing for another season, but confirm the 2026 opening date and admission directly before driving to Morganton. Dogs and other pets are prohibited, and the maze paths are not suitable for wheelchairs or strollers.

 

Dawsonville and Jasper Corn Mazes

These southern foothill options are convenient for visitors traveling from metro Atlanta. Choose Uncle Shuck’s for a large maze and a separate haunted trail, or Yahoo Farm for free entry and individually priced activities.

 

Uncle Shuck’s Corn Maze in Dawsonville

👻 Explore a 15-acre daytime maze, then return on an October Friday or Saturday night for the separate Dark Rows haunted corn trail.

The 2026 Uncle Shuck’s Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch runs September 19 through November 8. The regular maze includes multiple miles of trails through a 15-acre field, and general admission also includes wagon rides, corn-cannon shots, a jumping pad, tire mountain, kiddie maze, animal viewing, and a bonfire with marshmallows after dark.

The Dark Rows haunted trail is separate from the regular corn maze. It opens at dark every Friday and Saturday in October, with the last tickets sold at 10 p.m. Children 12 and younger must be accompanied by a parent, and flashlights are not allowed on the haunted route. Pets are not permitted except trained service animals.

 

Yahoo Farm Corn Maze in Jasper

🌠 Choose a $5 daytime maze, or visit on a select October Saturday for a glowing Cosmic Corn Maze with a flashlight and bracelet included.

The 2026 attractions at Yahoo Farm begin September 19 at 10 a.m. There is no admission or parking fee, so visitors can choose individual attractions or buy an activity pass. Daytime options include the corn maze, hayride, corn cannon, gem grubbing, pumpkin wagon, kiddie hay maze, animals, pony rides on weekends, and a butterfly flower garden.

Nighttime fun runs on October 3, 10, 17, and 24, with a haunted hayride, Cosmic Cornmaze, and free s’mores roasting pit. The farm accepts cash, credit cards, and checks. Pets are not permitted, although service animals are welcome.

 

Apple Tree and Kid-Sized Mazes in North Georgia

Not every fall maze uses a full field of corn. Hillcrest Orchards offers two alternatives in Ellijay: an Apple Tree Maze for a distinctive orchard challenge and a smaller Korny Kids Maze for younger visitors.

 

Hillcrest Orchards Apple Tree Maze in Ellijay

🍏 Navigate the Apple Tree Maze, then let younger visitors try the Korny Kids Maze before the next pig race or wagon ride.

The 2026 Apple Pickin’ Jubilee at Hillcrest Orchards runs September 5 through November 1 on weekends. Weekend admission includes both mazes, U-pick orchard access, a petting farm, wagon rides, mini golf, cow milking, pig races, live entertainment, and a long list of family activities.

The farm market and bakery are open daily during the season, but the Apple Tree Maze and largest attraction lineup belong to the weekend Jubilee experience. Known for the “Hot Light” that is ALWAYS on for fresh hot apple cider or pumpkin donuts.

No pets are allowed. Find current apple-picking details in the North Georgia apple orchard guide.

 

Tips for Enjoying a Corn Maze 🌽

The experience changes as the season moves along. Early visits may see taller, denser stalks, while later weather can thin the rows and open the sightlines. Rain, wind, farm maintenance, and the maze design also affect the challenge, so no two visits feel exactly the same.

 

Tips for Navigating a Corn Maze 🧭

• 👟 Dress for the weather. North Georgia fall days can move from sunny and warm to chilly or damp. Comfortable layers make the change easier.
• 🥾 Choose sturdy, closed-toe shoes. Farm paths are uneven and can stay muddy after rain.
• 💧 Carry water. Larger mazes can keep you walking much longer than expected.
• 🚻 Visit the restroom before entering. Once you are deep in the rows, finding the exit may take a while.
• 🗺️ Take the map or clue sheet. It can help if your group is short on time or visiting with younger children.
• 📍 Watch for landmarks and checkpoints. Tall features, signs, and themed questions can help you stay oriented.
• ⏱️ Make it a friendly competition. Split into teams, choose a meeting point, and compare times at the finish.
• 🔦 Check flashlight rules. Some night mazes encourage the use of flashlights, while haunted attractions may prohibit them.

 

What to Bring for a Corn Maze Day Trip

• 💧 Water bottle for longer walks and warm September afternoons.
• 🧴 Sunscreen for open fields and midday visits.
• 🧭 A compass or GPS device if you want to make navigation part of the game.
• 🦟 Bug spray for evening visits and warm fall days.
• 🧢 A hat or sunglasses for sun protection.
• 🎒 A small backpack to keep your hands free.
• 🔦 A flashlight for approved night mazes, plus fresh batteries (check the farm’s rules)

Tickets, Weather, and Timing 🎟️

• Do I need corn-maze reservations? Many farms accept walk-in visitors, but ticket policies vary. Check the current farm page for online-ticket discounts, special events, group reservations, or sellouts.

• What happens if it rains? Light rain does not always close a farm, but muddy fields, lightning, or extended rain can change hours. Check social media or call before driving after wet weather.
