Reno-Tahoe’s Must-Do Fall Pumpkin Patches

If “visit the pumpkin patch” is on your fall to-do list, like many of ours, then Reno-Tahoe Territory is the place to be. Families looking for a way to enjoy the outdoors together during the region’s ideal fall temperatures have pumpkin patches in every corner of the territory to choose from. Or, visit them all! Here’s a list of Reno-Tahoe Territory’s must-do pumpkin patches and fall activities.

Corely Ranch
Corely Ranch in Carson Valley is a real working ranch raising cattle, farming, hay and of course, pumpkins! The Harvest Festival takes place each year the whole month of October, offering families that quintessential fall experience on a small-town, working farm. Activities include giant sling shot, train rides, and picking out the perfect pumpkin. Weekends bring food and other vendors onsite to complete the experience.
