Our Favorite Fall Activities

With the onset of cooler weather and fall quickly approaching it is a great time to create new memories and enjoy recreation in many different (and affordable) ways!

 

 

Fall is the ideal time to get outdoors and play! It's not too hot and not too cold so get out there and have some fun! We have some ideas to get you started and hope you enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery that fall has to offer.

Outdoor Activities:

1. Have a picnic at one of your local parks! (Riverbend Park and Bedrock Park are beautiful in the fall with the Feather River complementing the colorful trees)

2. Go for a Bike Ride!
3. Play a "pick up" game of football, soccer, baseball or any sport that you love!
4. Take a nature walk and make sure to bring your camera! The colors, climate and lighting of fall makes for great photography! Also, on your nature walk you can collect items such as, pine cones, acorns, leaves, etc. and use them in arts, crafts and fall decor.
5. Visit a local pumpkin patch, corn maze and local farms.
6. Rake a pile of leaves and jump in them!
7. Go fishing, it is very relaxing.
8. Take a hike, in our area we recommend hiking to Feather Falls or Bald Rock.

9. Tennis is also much more enjoyable in the cooler months!
10. Visit local festivals in your area (Salmon Festival, Ocktoberfest, etc.)
11. Play a round of disc golf.
12. Take your dogs out to the dog park or on a walk. Some dogs do not handle the heat well, therefore fall is a perfect time to exercise them outdoors.
