THINGS TO DO AROUND CANDLEWOOD LAKE IN FAIRFIELD COUNTY, CONNECTICUT

It’s not too late to come out to enjoy the foliage! The weather man is promising nice, sunny fall days for this week-end, take advantage of it. The unexpected October snow storm did leave us some color on the trees, although the lengthy power outage sort of robbed us of Halloween.

Take a hike in the woods or visit some of the apple-picking places that are still open for business, although probably no longer for apples. Their country shops are full of delicious local apple varieties, cider, doughnuts, fun holiday items and more. There are even wine trails and wine-tastings! Some farms have petting zoos for children and corn mazes. See the list below for most convenient locations. Be sure to call first to see if they’re definitely open or check the websites!
