The arrival of fall can be detected in two ways: cooler weather and pumpkin patches. Both are welcome signs that the dog days of summer are behind us, and we generally welcome the cooler weather with open arms, since we can spend more time outdoors without that sweltering heat. Of course, pumpkin patches are also a welcome sign of fall, and finding the perfect one is a special task every year. Not sure which patch is perfect for picking?

pumpkin patches in Mississippi August 19, 2022 Jackie Ann When can I see peak fall foliage in Mississippi? It’s always hard to make Mother Nature stick to a precise schedule, but generally speaking, peak fall foliage in Mississippi occurs from mid-October until the first week of November. If we get an early frost, then that’ll change things and the window will be much more narrow. Northern Mississippi will see the colors begin to change first, and then it’ll trickle down to the southern part of the state, including the Gulf Coast. The Farmers’ Almanac is a great resource to predict when the colors will change, and a great tip would be to follow one of the many Mississippi State Parks which will usually alert their followers to any colorful changes happening in the parks. Which hiking trails in Mississippi are best in the fall? Once you’ve visited all of your favorite pumpkin patches in Mississippi and decorated them to your heart’s delight, you’ll want to get outside and enjoy the fall colors, and there are some really beautiful hiking trails in Mississippi in the fall. One of our favorite fall hikes in Mississippi is the Beaver Dam Trail located in the Sam D. Hamilton Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge.
