Fun, Fall Activities to Enjoy in Somerset County
Choose from Our Amazing List of Autumn Adventures!
Living in the Northeast allows us to experience all four seasons. But the transition from summer into fall has always been dear to our hearts. Why? Because when the weather turns cooler and the leaves begin to fall, we immerse ourselves in those unique activities that can only be done for a few months out of the year. From wine tasting and pumpkin carving to hay rides and apple picking, there’s just nothing more exciting than the fall.
So, as we prep for fall lawn care and end-of-summer property maintenance for customers in Somerset County and Morris County, we got to thinking about all the cool festivals and exciting activities that are only a month away. And we just couldn’t help but share. Check out these seasonal gems in and around Somerset County.
New Jersey Hiking Trails
Do you enjoy nature? There’s never a better time for being outdoors than when the leaves change color and the temperatures dip. The hiking trails in Basking Ridge are beautiful during the fall. Check out the nearly 10 miles of trails in Somerset County Parks and take in the colorful scenery. Whether you enjoy walking, hiking, running or biking, these trails will awaken your senses!
