Autumn Magic at Heron Lakes: Why October Might Be Our Favourite Month

Phoebe Scott • October 4, 2025

The gentle ripple of water against the shoreline, the crisp morning air carrying whispers of woodsmoke, and the spectacular canvas of amber, crimson and gold reflected in our lakes - October at Heron Lakes truly captures the essence of autumn magic in East Yorkshire.



The Peaceful Retreat You've Been Craving



As summer visitors return to their routines and before the festive season begins, October offers a unique window of tranquillity at Heron Lakes. The peaceful atmosphere that settles over our community creates the perfect environment for genuine relaxation - something we've prioritised since our family first established the park.

"October is when you truly experience the heart of what makes Heron Lakes special," explains Chris Nedic, who has lived and breathed the park lifestyle since age 16. "The pace slows, allowing our lodge owners to connect more deeply with nature and each other. It's the authentic experience we've always wanted to create."


Nature's Spectacular Show


There's something truly magical about watching the seasons change from your own lodge deck. The transformation of our woodland areas creates a daily spectacle that simply can't be replicated. Our carefully designed plots ensure you have front-row seats to nature's most impressive display:

  • Morning mist rising gently from the lakes as the sun breaks through
  • Spectacular foliage reflecting in the still waters
  • Wildlife becoming more active as they prepare for winter
  • Crisp, clear nights perfect for stargazing from your private deck

These experiences aren't just beautiful - they're the essence of what makes lodge ownership so special.


Angler's Paradise


For fishing enthusiasts, October represents prime time at our well-stocked lakes. The cooler water temperatures bring increased activity, making it an ideal month for both experienced anglers and beginners. Our three operational fishing lakes (with two more in development) provide varied experiences depending on your preference and skill level.

"We've maintained these lakes with the same care we would want if we lived here ourselves," says Chris.


Cosy Community Connections


The autumn season brings our lodge community together in unique ways. As the evenings draw in, Pasco on the Lake becomes the heart of Heron Lakes, offering a warm, inviting space to gather. Their seasonal autumn menu showcases the best local produce.

From impromptu gatherings around fire pits to planned community events, October creates natural opportunities for meaningful connections - something we've fostered since our family first established Heron Lakes.


The Perfect Time to Consider Lodge Ownership


If you've been contemplating holiday home ownership, October provides an ideal opportunity to experience Heron Lakes at its authentic best. Visiting during this season allows you to see beyond the summer holiday atmosphere and truly understand the year-round lifestyle our community offers.

With options from new luxury lodges to pre-loved homes at various price points, we can help find the perfect retreat to match your vision and budget. Our generational expertise means we understand exactly what you're looking for - because we've lived this lifestyle ourselves.
