Ok, so it may not feel like fall out there, but according to the calendar is it! That just means we get a few more days to enjoy the outdoors! While you are soaking up the last of the summer rays, I have put together your Fall Bucket List for around the Lakes Region. Try to do them all!
- Go to a haunted house. Right in Hill, NH is House of Haunted Hill and according to their website they are set to open Friday, October 6th at 7pm.
- Go apple picking. See the previous article on where to go around the Lakes Region.
- Make an apple pie. And for a real New England twist, add a slice of Vermont Cheddar Cheese on it!
- Check out a local high school Friday Night Football game. Check your local high school’s webpage for game schedule, or head over to WMUR Sports for updates on games.
- Check out a Pro Football game. Ok, so it’s not in the Lakes Region but it’s worth the trip.
- Pumpkin patch photo shoot. The epitome of all fall backdrops for photos. Then grab the perfect pumpkin and…
- Carve a pumpkin. If you need some inspiration, check out the Pumpkin Lady’s Webpage for some patterns.
- Roast your pumpkin seeds. My family likes to add our own twist. Cinnamon and sugar, season-all, or salt and pepper.
- Go leaf peeping. Take the big loop around the lake looking at all the decorations and beautiful foliage.
- Take a scenic chairlift ride. Gunstock in Gilford offers a chairlift ride where you will have spectacular views of Lake Winnipesaukee and surrounding mountain ranges.
- Visit a corn maze. Check back as I will be listing all the mazes around the Lakes Region.
- Have a Halloween movie marathon with friends.

- Have a fall bonfire.
- Host or go to a Halloween party.
- Dress up with your family for Halloween.
- Make a list of all you are Thankful for.
- Make your own cornucopia. All Recipes has this authentic one you can eat, or you can make this craft with kids.
