A working 160-acre dairy farm with an extensive attraction lineup including duck racing and pedal tractors; deep mountain location makes this a true farm experience, but limited published information requires a phone call first.
Cove Run Farms is a legitimate working dairy—160 acres, 140+ registered Holstein cows—that has opened its grounds to public fall activities. The attraction list is extensive: corn maze, hay rides, petting zoo, duck racing, pony rides, pedal tractors, fire pit, and picnic areas. This is an all-day experience if you want it.
The appeal here is that you’re visiting a real farm, not a festival ground. The combination of maze, animal interaction, and working-farm backdrop creates a different feel than the commercial pumpkin patches closer to Baltimore or DC.
Garrett County sits in the mountains near Deep Creek Lake, at the western edge of Maryland. This elevation and geography mean:
The record has no 2026 start date, end date, hours, or admission pricing. This is not unusual for farms early in the season, but it means you must call or check their website before committing to the drive. The website is https://www.coverunfarmscornmaze.com/. There is no phone number in the record, so use the website to find contact information or check Google Maps.
If you go, budget 3+ hours and expect to sample multiple activities without rushing. The pedal tractors and animal interactions are likely best for younger children (under 10); the maze and pony rides work for older kids too. The fire pit and picnic areas suggest you could bring your own food and settle in for a longer visit.
Bring layers—mountain temperatures drop faster and deeper than elsewhere in the state. Bug spray is wise for any farm with animals and water features.
Mid-September through October, weekends; the farm's mountain location (Garrett County, near Deep Creek Lake) means cooler temperatures and earlier fall color than the Baltimore-DC corridor.
3+ hours to sample the range of activities without rushing.
Unknown; mountain location suggests less crowded than metro-area patches, but proximity to Deep Creek Lake could draw leaf-peepers in peak season.
