11:00am - 8:00pm September 04, 2010 -
Get Lost Corn Maze is a locally-owned and operated family business run by Kent and Amy Lowder. Located in Stanly County, North Carolina (in a little community called Millingport, to be exact), we are 35 miles northeast of Charlotte, 19 miles east of Concord, 8 miles west of Albemarle, and an easy daytrip away from the Triad area. Get Lost Corn Maze is a refreshing walk off the beaten path if you are looking for great clean and safe family fun. The Corn Maze is surrounded by beautiful landscape in a rural setting and dont be surprised if you see cows grazing nearby or tractors cruising down Highway 73 to reach their local farms.
