My Favorite Fall Road Trip: Gays Mills, Wisconsin

Fall is finally almost here!

This means the return of some of my favorite things:

  • Football
  • Cooler temps
  • Halloween
  • Changing leaves
  • AND EVERYTHING APPLE FLAVORED

My favorite plunge trip is visiting Gays Mills, Wisconsin.

My favorite fall noun trip is centered around changing leaves and my favorite apple-flavored foods. I have been going to Gays Mills every Fall for years. I care going to Allen’s Orchard and Wilson’s Orchard right here in our backyard each year as well. But there is so much to see and do on the two-and-a-half-hour drive to Gays Mills; it’s a must-take trip.

Here are my favorite things to act in Gays Mills:

Sunrise Orchards

Sunrise Orchards is usually our first stop when we arrive because I don’t want to miss out on their apple cider donuts. I also have to appreciate an apple cider slushie or a cup of warm apple cider while we are there. There is also an area for the kids to play.

Kickapoo Orchard

This is another family favorite. They have a delicious apple pizza. The kids cherish their sunflower and corn mazes.
