Pumpkins Fest & Fall Colours Adventure
Autumn Fun at Davis Farm + Island Lake
Celebrate the best of fall with a full day of pumpkins, colours, and crisp autumn air. We’ll start at Davis Family Farm Pumpkin Festival, a lively harvest celebration filled with pumpkin picking, tractor rides, food trucks, local vendors, and family-friendly activities. It’s the perfect place to sip cider, snap some festive photos, and soak up the season’s charm.
From there, our Parkbus guide will lead a group hike at Island Lake Conservation Area. Think fiery reds, glowing golds, and shimmering oranges reflecting off the lake as you walk boardwalks and forested trails. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to connect with other nature-lovers, share the trail with new friends, and enjoy the outdoors in good company.
This is part of our ActiveDays series: guided adventures designed for people who want to get outside, meet others, and experience something new together. Whether you come solo or with a friend, this autumn trip combines the fun of a pumpkin festival with the calm beauty of a fall hike. It’s a fall tradition waiting to happen.
