Plan Fall Break escapes with “Leaf Watch” trips
The cooler temperatures, the smell of pumpkin-spiced lattes, and waves of red and gold leaves spark the start of fall.
The kids will be on Fall Break in a couple of weeks, so here are some suggestions for day trips to consider that should keep them entertained – and learning.
Although Mother Nature is in charge of when peak leaf season will hit, Georgia State Parks has launched “Leaf Watch 2023” to help leaf lookers track fall color as it moves across the Peach State. Found at GaStateParks.org/LeafWatch, the travel planner is filled with top trails and overlooks, mountain cabins and campsites, fall events and safe hiking tips.
With kid-friendly nature trails, challenging mountain hikes, cozy campsites and warm cabins, Georgia’s State Parks make for the perfect fall-themed escape. After a day on the trails, park visitors can kick back by a fire and enjoy gooey s’mores. Since state parks can be especially busy during fall weekends, rangers encourage guests to visit on weekdays or explore lesser-known destinations like Victoria Bryant or Don Carter state parks.
