You-Pick Fruit Experiences
August is the perfect time to indulge in the sweetness of fresh, locally grown fruit. Visit one of the many nearby farms for a you-pick fruit experience and fill your baskets with ripe berries, apples, or peaches. It’s a fun and delicious way to connect with nature and savor the flavors of the season.
Paddle on the Creek
Get out on the water and paddle through the peaceful creeks of Essex County. Whether you’re kayaking, canoeing, or paddleboarding, this activity offers a serene escape into nature. Explore hidden coves, spot wildlife, and enjoy the tranquility of being on the water. We recommend exploring Sturgeon Creek with watersport rentals from Caldwell First Nations Marina and Cedar Creek with watersport rentals from Somewhere Else Experience. Another fun local experience on the water is discovering the marsh at Point Pelee National Park with a Freighter Canoe Tour with rentals from Pelee Wings Nature Store.
Take a County Cruise
Explore scenic countryside roads and discover charming local attractions with a leisurely county cruise. Whether you’re making a pit stop in one of the quaint county towns to take a walk down the main street, stopping at roadside markets, or simply passing by the beautiful landscapes, a county cruise is a delightful way to spend a summer day.
