5 Ways To Enjoy Fall In LaGrange

1: Discover Beautiful Changing Leaves at Hills & Dales Estate

Considered one of the best-preserved 19th-century gardens in the country, Hills & Dales Estate is the perfect way to enjoy fall weather. The well-designed estate and its pristine grounds were completed in 1916 (many years after the gardens).

Thanks to the Callaway family, the estate has provided a century of education and enjoyment to the LaGrange community. Take a walk around the gardens and enjoy the best of Georgia autumn and beautiful changing leaves. Allow at least two hours to tour the estate, there is so much to see! The estate is very family-friendly, they often host children’s adventures and children ages 6 and under are able to enjoy the estate for free.

2: Gather Around the Campfire (at One of Our Local campgrounds)

What better way to enjoy a fall evening than to gather around a campfire with the people you love? LaGrange is not lacking in campground options, providing you with access to prime campfire real estate. Pack up the s’more materials, a cozy blanket, and put those boy scout lessons to use.

Here are some campgrounds around West Point Lake with campfire accessibility. Pyne Road Park Campground, Highland Marina, 3 Creeks Campground and Pine Mountain RV Resort have acres of wooded area to enjoy fall foliage firsthand, lake access to explore, and a variety of camping sites to spend the night under the stars now that the summer heat has made its way out the door.

3: Take a Walk Around the Square

Taking a walk through our city center is the most dynamic way to enjoy LaGrange. Founded in 1828, the town boasts a rich history and beautiful architecture. When accompanied with fall weather and scenery, it can’t be beaten. Use our new Downtown Walking Tour brochure as a guide to make sure you don’t miss anything!

Great Wolf Lodge is always a good idea. The indoor water park is heated to 84 degrees all year-round, so the weather outside is never a worry.
