    DANVILLE, Vermont (WPTZ) — Summer is just getting started, but in Danville, work is already underway on one of Vermont’s most famous fall attractions.

The Great Vermont Corn Maze spans 24 acres and is known for its elaborate designs, bridges, blacklight section, and plenty of wrong turns. Each year, Mike Boudreau, better known as “Mike the Bridge Guy,” builds the maze by hand using graph paper, flags, and a rototiller.

What started in 1999 as a five-acre maze on his wife’s family farm has grown into a massive creative project that brings people back year after year.

For Boudreau, the maze is less about puzzles and more about creating something memorable. Every season brings a new theme, a new design, and a new way to get people lost before they finally ring the bell of success.
