Just north of bustling downtown Portland is Sauvie Island. Not only is it a local’s favorite for farmstead getaways. It’s also home to Portland’s best corn maze and pumpkin patch. The MAiZE is celebrating its 24th anniversary this year. Complete with wildly intricate mazes, a pumpkin patch, and fun seasonal events, this is undoubtedly the best corn maze in Portland, and they’re officially open for the 2022 season!
Located just 15 minutes from downtown, The MAiZE at The Pumpkin Patch just opened this weekend. The MAiZE is comprised of almost 2 miles of pathways through the corn. There are two halves to the design, each half beginning and ending at the farm’s iconic big red and white tent.
Each year, it’s a treat to see what extravagant design that team will come up with. For 2022, they chose to honor their growing family of critters. The brand new “Cinnamon and Sugar Maize” is named after the farm’s two adorable Brahman Cows – Cinnamon and Sugar – who graze lazily right next to The MAiZE. Guests can move through The MAiZE, getting lost in an idyllic farm scene featuring Cinnamon and Sugar, the big red animal barn, a giant pumpkin, and a John Deere tractor.
The eight acres of farm-filled fun also include free hayrides, a u-pick pumpkin patch, and a daily farm-fresh market. Just note that hayrides and pumpkin picking don’t start until Oct. 1, so plan your trip accordingly.
