Swans Trail Farms
Pumpkin patch · Snohomish · Washington
The Krause family bought the Staswick Dairy Farm in 1984 and added a pumpkin patch in 1995. The draw now is a 12-acre corn maze cut as a map of Washington State, with 250 roads, 400 towns and landmarks and 4.5 miles of paths, plus ziplines, a three-story hay maze and Farmer Ben's pig show.
