Looking for your next fall tradition? 🍎

Stuckey Farm Orchard and C***r Mill in Sheridan is a family favorite for a reason! Wander through 4,000 apple trees and pick from 27 varieties, take a wagon ride through the orchard, watch fresh c***r get pressed, and grab a warm c***r donut (or three). With 15 acres of pumpkins, there’s one out there with your name on it 🎃

Bring the whole crew and save 10% on admission with code VISITHAMILTONCO.

🍂 Midwest Living featured the Nickel Plate Express rail bikes in their roundup of fun ways to see fall foliage across the Midwest!

Picture this: pedaling along the historic Nickel Plate tracks out of Forest Park with the trees turning gold and red all around you and your whole crew riding together on one bike. It's the kind of fall day you'll be talking about all winter.

Rides leave from Hobbs Station in Forest Park, and fall dates fill up fast, so grab your spot while the leaves are still showing off!

Crisp air, crunchy leaves, & a trail that leads somewhere good 🍂 🚲

The HamCo Hubway connects Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and Westfield through the Monon, Midland Trace and Nickel Plate trails, and every one leads to something worth stopping for. Pedal past public art in Carmel, grab a coffee in downtown Westfield, or catch White River views from the Nickel Plate Trail in Fishers. 🍁☕🌳

Please note that sections of the 106 Trail and Bur Oak Bridge remain closed following the recent flooding.

Don't look behind you... 👀🎃
