When discussing this post in our Monday morning meeting, Kevin McCarthy told me he wouldn’t read it because he’s “just not that into corn mazes.” Valid point. I mean, who really is into corn mazes? They’re just big fields that some guy with a tractor plowed a couple of paths through.
Well, after doing this research, I can now say I’m fully into corn mazes. New England has hundreds of acres of corn fields that have been turned into miles of winding paths and deadends for your walking pleasure. Daylight challenges just not enough for you? No problem. Many of the corn mazes have night hours, so bring a flashlight and prepare to get spooked Blair Witch Project style. Here is just a sampling of 13 of the awesome corn mazes New England has to offer.
