The time has come to overdose on pumpkin spice lattes, stock up on cardigans, and collect firewood for the impending (er, fingers-crossed-not-happening) winter snowstorm. Some things are pretty standard fall fare. But, as you know, there are so many other things to see and do in D.C. during the season; so many—quite frankly—that it can be overwhelming to choose which are worth the stock. To help guide you through the myriad of corn mazes and haunted houses, we asked Red Tricycle’s awesome editorial team to tell us their favorite ways to have fun this fall.

"We love all the usual local fall activities—picking apples at Homestead Farms, hiking on the Billy Goat Trail—but this year we discovered kayaking in the Potomac. We rent two double kayaks from Thompson Boat Center (easily accessible at the south end of Rock Creek Parkway) and make a loop around Roosevelt Island and under the Key Bridge. We usually spot turtles, ducks, and a heron or two—and in the not-so-brutal weather it's lovely to be out on the water, getting some fresh air and exercise and enjoying nature and each other's company."
