Our Top 7 Outdoor Fall Activities

Fall is officially here and that means shorter days and colder temps. But just because the mercury dips does not mean you should start hibernating just yet. In fact, fall is the perfect time of year to enjoy the great outdoors and be active, especially with a pair of Supporo Compression socks. Here are a few ideas for some fun fall activities you can do solo, as a couple, with family and friends, or even with your fur baby!  

Go on a hike and soak up the incredible fall foliage

While you might need an extra layer (or two), fall is a great time to hit the trails. The weather is often sunny but not hot, the bugs are pretty much gone, and the colours are simply stunning. Whether you are trekking up a mountain or along a flatter path, hiking is a great way to get the blood pumping. Not to mention the incredible Instagram-worthy photo ops! Just remember to check for trail information and conditions and pack in, pack out!  

Head to a nearby orchard for some apple picking

The quintessential autumn activity, apple picking is a real family favourite. And with good reason! Kids can run around and play while you enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Moreover, many orchards have wagon rides, farm animals, playgrounds, and corn mazes. And just think about all the apple-flavoured recipes you can make with those bags of Honeycrisps. Did someone say apple crumble?  

Visit a pumpkin patch and get your spook on

Are the kiddos excited for Halloween? So are we! To get into the spooky spirit, head down to a nearby pumpkin patch to pick the perfect gourds for your scary décor! In addition to beautiful scenery and picturesque fields, many pumpkin farms also have picnic and play areas and farm animals. And remember to stop by the gourmet kiosks and farmers’ markets for some delicious fall-inspired treats and fresh produce.  

Go on a fall horseback ride

Horseback riding is another great way to soak up the incredible fall colours and enjoy being out in nature. And this time of year is truly ideal for a trail ride: crisper air, clearer and colder creeks, and an explosion of reds, yellows, and oranges await. Cowboy hat and boots not required.  

Hit the pavement for a 5K

This fall, slip on your running shoes and head out for a nice run on the many trails in and around town. With the cooler weather, autumn is perfect for getting in those kilometres before the snow and ice set in. Additionally, the season is also a popular time of year for charity runs and fundraising events. So why not sign up for that 5K you have always wanted to try? The perfect way to stay active while supporting a cause you hold dear.  

Plan a sports day

While many of you might be anxiously awaiting the opening of skating rinks, there is still time to hit the outdoor tennis court or soccer pitch. Or get the gang together for a last ultimate Frisbee game or some touch football. And after the match, why not treat yourself and your teammates to a pumpkin spiced latte to celebrate the season?  

Hop on your bike

You can still get in some great rides before the winter frost arrives. Just remember fall weather can be a bit trickier. Layers, a pair of gloves, and a high-collared shirt, gator, or scarf can really be lifesavers on those brisker days. And riding through those piles of leaves can be quite slippery so always ride with caution.
