Home of Tennessee's original mega corn maze (since 1999) with genuinely scenic mountain views, but 2026 hours are not yet published and activity pricing is individual, not bundled.
Activities priced individually
Maple Lane Farms holds the distinction of operating Tennessee’s original mega corn maze, established in 1999. Located in the Loudon County foothills near Knoxville, the farm offers genuine mountain-view scenery—a clear advantage over flatter Middle Tennessee patches. The eight-acre maze design celebrates 250 years of America, and late-October visitors can experience a haunted variant.
Unlike many patches with a flat admission that covers a carousel or hayride, Maple Lane uses individual activity pricing. You pay separately for the maze, hayrides, campfires, and other attractions. This is a feature if you want to maximize value by doing only what appeals to your group, but it’s a friction point if you arrive expecting an all-you-can-do flat fee. The record does not list specific prices, so a phone call to 865-856-3511 is necessary before budgeting.
If your family enjoys mild haunted attractions, the farm offers a haunted maze version on Oct 16–18, 23–25, and 29–31. This is explicitly separate from the daytime experience. Confirm whether haunted-maze pricing differs from standard maze pricing and whether it’s advisable for your age group.
The foothills location means earlier fall color than lower-elevation Nashville patches and cooler afternoon temperatures. This is generally an advantage (more comfortable for active maze-solving, better photography), but pack a light jacket for early morning or later-day visits. Early October offers the sweet spot: fewer crowds than mid-to-late October, pleasant temperatures, and opening-week maze conditions.
The farm operates weekends only (Saturday and Sunday) in October, but the specific opening and closing times for 2026 have not been published online as of this writing. Check tnmaplelanefarms.com or call 865-856-3511 a few weeks before your visit to confirm hours and any special timing for the haunted-maze dates.
