Barton Hill Farms

In Bastrop, on the banks of the scenic Colorado River, discover Barton Hill Farms, a 4-acre pumpkin patch playground. Explore a themed corn maze ($13, which also gets you a pumpkin)—this year’s maze design celebrates the 100th birthday of the U.S Army’s Curtiss JN-4 biplane—or Spookley Kid’s Maze, a “knee-high little maze just for knee-high kids”. Meet and feed the calves, goats and piglets, romp in the sandpit “ship” or on a giant jumping pillow, and enjoy old-fashioned yard games like Corn Hole and sack races. The laid-back option is to pick up some hot dogs and barbecue with wine and beer, provided on site, while listening to some good ole honky-tonk and Southern bluegrass music.
