Crisp Air and Fresh Pumpkins

Best pumpkin patches in Lake Oswego

The Lake Oswego area really is unmatched for fall beauty. Once the leaves start to change a brisk walk in some cooler air will get those hearts pumping. The month of October, of course, is best known for this and of course for Halloween.

Time to go get the kids and set out in search of this year’s pumpkin. There are two farms nearby that will be a great stop for any pumpkin picking crew.

Lee Farms in Tualatin has all the amenities you can associate with a pumpkin patch visit. Hayrides, a corn maze, pony rides, and store filled with fresh fruits and baked goods.

Another favorite with less of the frills but plenty of Pumpkins is Fiala Farms. For over a century the Fiala family has offered fresh produce and a quiet family atmosphere for your outdoor pumpkin picking pleasure.
Lake Oswego has plenty of indoor beauty to sample at the Westlake Meadow Apartments. Tree-lined walkways and outdoor patios give our residents plenty of fresh air to sample while staying close to home. And it’s still close to all those pumpkins.
