As the air turns crisp and the leaves blaze with color, Elkhart County offers a quintessential fall experience just a few hours’ drive north from Indianapolis.

This charming region is brimming with seasonal activities that showcase the best of autumn in the Midwest. Here are some ideas to add to your itinerary:

  • Start your adventure at Kercher’s Sunrise Orchard in Goshen, where you can pick your own apples and enjoy fresh cider. The kids will love the wagon ride to the pumpkin patch.
  • Take a leisurely stroll or bike ride along the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail, which winds through vibrant forests + scenic farmland.
  • Don’t miss the Nappanee Apple Festival, a beloved local tradition featuring apple-themed treats and lively entertainment.
  • Cap off your day with a hearty meal at Das Dutchman Essenhaus in Middlebury, where the warmth of Amish hospitality and comforting dishes create the perfect end to a fall day.

Elkhart County in autumn is an idyllic escape, offering natural beauty and local charm at every turn. Pro tip: There’s more to explore, so make a weekend of it.
