Ohio park ranked second best spot in the country to view fall colors

Fall colors are just starting to arrive in Ohio, and according to USA Today readers, two parks in the Buckeye State offer some of the best viewing options in the country.

On Sept. 16, a list from USA Today titled “10 best places to see fall colors in the United States” named the Hocking Hills as the second-best spot in the country. The list was published as part of the outlet’s 10Best Readers’ Choice awards. 

Here’s what USA Today wrote about the Hocking Hills:

“The plethora of parks and natural areas that make up the Hocking Hills region are dotted with rocky outcroppings and sweeping views to take in those warm fall colors. Two big festivals — the Bob Evans Farm Festival and the Circleville Pumpkin Show — center around celebrating autumn and offer some entertainment for tourists on the hunt for fall foliage.”

Additionally, Cuyahoga National Park was named the nation’s fourth best spot for taking in fall foliage on the USA Today list.

“The best time for leaf peeping is in late October, though you have a chance to enjoy it the full month in spots like Oak Hill Trail at the start of the month, near Brandywine Falls in the middle, and around the Ledges Overlook toward the end, with opportunities to see the gorgeous red, yellow, and orange maple leaves, red-leafed dogwoods, and yellowing aspens from spots like Kendall Lake and the Everett Covered Bridge,” the outlet wrote.
