Sip & Explore Trail

Downtown Meadville is full of charm, from its historic Meadville Market House to the boutique shops and cafés that line Chestnut Street.

After a stroll, there are plenty of places to raise a glass. Try bold beers at Voodoo Brewing Company,

small-batch spirits inside a former bank at Cussewago Creek Distillery,

or honey-based drinks at Blissful Meads, a cozy downtown spot with flavors perfect for the season.

Just outside of town, you’ll also find Davenport Cidery & Winery, where crisp ciders and rustic charm make the short drive worth it.

In Titusville, history and scenery go hand in hand. The Oil Creek State Park Trail takes you along a gorge lined with fall color,

while the Oil Creek & Titusville Railroad offers a relaxing ride through the same landscape.

After exploring, head downtown to enjoy a pint at Orr’s Brewing Company

or the lively Titusville Iron Works Tap House, where the atmosphere is as welcoming as the beer.

As the leaves shift to shades of orange and red, Conneaut Lake becomes a peaceful autumn escape. Walk along the shoreline, try your hand at fishing, or simply enjoy the crisp fall air by the water.

When the day winds down, stop into Conneaut Cellars Winery & Distillery, a classic destination for local wine and spirits.

For a casual lakeside vibe, grab a seat at Rising River Brewing – Lakeside, where the views pair perfectly with a pint.

Just east of Conneaut, Pymatuning State Park shines in the fall. The park is a favorite for birdwatching, especially during migration season, and its quiet trails and fishing spots make it a perfect place to slow down.

A quirky must-see is the Linesville Spillway, where “the ducks walk on the fish.”

Nearby, you’ll find more local flavor: Mortals Key Brewing Company, known for European-style beers

and Gatehouse Winery, a cozy spot to end your day.

In Cambridge Springs, outdoor beauty and small-town charm meet along the waters of French Creek. The Muddy Creek Holly Trail offers a peaceful walk through woods and wetlands, where fall colors reflect in quiet streams.

After your hike, settle in at Riverside Brewing Co., a striking timber-frame barn turned brewery, where locally crafted beers and hearty dishes bring the season’s flavors to the table. It’s the perfect balance of nature and flavor, tucked into one welcoming corner of Crawford County.

Some fall days are made for a drive. Take Route 19 north toward Waterford, where rolling farmland and painted hillsides stretch for miles. Along the way, make a stop at Port Farms, a family-friendly destination with pumpkin patches, hayrides, and seasonal activities that bring autumn to life.

While you’re there, sample a pour at Poverty Knob Farmhouse Ales, located right on the farm. With its farmhouse-style brews and rustic countryside setting, Port Farms is the perfect place to blend a scenic fall outing with local flavor.
