Arkansas Cycling & Fitness.

Competing in runs, bike races, climbing events and other outdoor activities is not just about personal goals, it’s also about fun. Playing as a family or with friends is the most rewarding part of being outdoors. An amazing weekend outing with friends and family in the Fall is to visit a corn maze. A corn or maize maze is a large field of corn with a maze cut in it creating a unique Autumn tradition in Arkansas. These mazes are often combined with other farm attractions of interest to families and groups. Some of these activities include hay rides, a petting zoo, play areas for children, and picnic areas. Many also have pumpkin farms so you can prepare for Halloween and festive cooking. It’s important for your kids to know where pumpkin spice comes from. Visiting these wonderful places also supports local farmers and connects your family with the Arkansas farming traditions. Here are 6 mazes currently operating in Arkansas.

Corn Maze at Lollie

Open since September 26 and operating until October 31, the Corn Maze at Lollie in Mayflower, Arkansas also features hay rides and a patriotic message.
