Cumming Fairgrounds
There is a new corn maze (new this year) on Friendship Road near the intersection of Hog Mountain Road (probably considered Buford). Unfortunately, I don’t know the name of it.
We live in Cumming so Cumming Fair is our annual favorite fall activity. 🙂
Uncle Shuck’s is about 30 minutes from Cumming. It’s very fun and their corn maze is well maintained. If your kids are up for the scare, check out their haunted maze during the weekend. It’s very popular for teens.
Check out Uncle Shucks Corn Maze it’s about 20 minutes north of Cumming.
