Autumn Adventure on Peddocks Island

Celebrate the season with a special fall exploration of Peddocks - the last chance to visit the Island until next year!

Experience an unforgettable autumn day as you wander the trails of Peddocks Island in search of animal tracks and traces. Learn about the history and natural wonder of Peddocks on a guided tour, press your own cider, or take some time to explore on your own.
