Hurricane Park
Mt. Blanchard is a great place to visit year-round, but especially in the fall. The village is decorated beautifully with pumpkins, mums, and other fall decorations to get you in the right mood for a fall picnic. Order some food from Hurricane Pub before making your way to Hurricane Park and find a great spot to enjoy your meal – we recommend the gazebo!
