2. Hiking in the Fall Leaves
What better way to chat and get to know someone than on a scenic hike at one of the Brighton Howell Area’s many parks and recreation areas! Huron Meadows Metropark and Pinckney State Recreation Area both have scenic hiking trails, but if you’re looking for a lighter hike, Kensington Metropark and the Mike Levine Lakeland Trail both have paved trails with fall scenery.

If you and your significant other enjoy wine, checking out the area’s local wineries is a must for a fall date. Spicer’s Winery is located on Spicer Orchards farm, giving you the perfect opportunity to enjoy the cider mill vibes and to taste delicious wine. If you’re over the cider mills, take your date to Howell’s Mainstreet Winery. This winery is located in a historic downtown Howell building and serves signature wines and thin-crust pizza.
