Lake County is on Ohio’s Corn Maze Trail
(COLUMBUS, Ohio) – TourismOhio is inviting travelers to pack their favorite flannel and meet up on the farm for the 2026 Ohio Corn Maze Trail. Featuring 13 new stops, the Ohio Corn Maze Trail returns for another year on Ohio.org.
No two trail experiences are alike, and with 57 stops across the state, there's plenty of adventures for travelers to choose from. Have a full day of fall fun on the farm with fresh donuts and apple cider or cap off a girls' weekend in Ohio's Wine Country with a sunset sip-and-stroll. Whichever way the autumnal vibes lead you this season, you can follow the trail there.
"Autumn one of the best times to see our state, and our corn mazes offer a fun and uniquely Ohio way to do it," said Lydia Mihalik, director of the Ohio Department of Development, which oversees TourismOhio. "From family farms and orchards to vineyards across the state, each of these nearly 60 destinations can turn a favorite fall tradition into an opportunity for a truly unmatched experience."
Several stops on the trail this year are celebrating America's 250th Birthday with special maze themes, including Erwin Farms & Corn Maze in Winchester, McDonald's Green House in Zanesville, White O’Morn Farms in West Jefferson, and many more across the state.
Other themes include "A Zoo for You!" at Suter's Produce, the Ohio History Maze at Ramseyer Farms in Wooster, and a tribute to Dolly Parton at Kuchta Farms.
"The Corn Maze Trail is one big invitation to play outside again — to crunch leaves under your boots, chase daylight through a maze, and find those off‑the‑beaten‑path gems that make Ohio so special," said state tourism director Sarah Wickham. "It's a choose‑your‑own‑fall‑adventure, and we love seeing travelers make it their own."
Ohio's Agritourism industry is in full bloom, welcoming thousands every year to the quintessential fall experience in the heart of it all. Many of the stops on the Ohio Corn Maze Trail are Ohio Proud and Ohio Wines partners, helping consumers find food grown in Ohio and from "vine to wine" Ohio products.
"Autumn opens the doors to Ohio's family farms," said Brian Baldridge, director of the Ohio Department of Agriculture. "From the corn that creates wonderful mazes to the pumpkins our kids and grandkids can’t wait to pick out, Ohio farmers work tirelessly to fuel healthy families, and our agritourism spots create memories that will last a lifetime. When you visit a corn maze, vineyard, or orchard this time of year, you are supporting Ohio farmers and rural communities."
