Fall Getaways in Ohio

As the calendar turns to October each year, Ohioans begin to plan fall getaways that coincide with our state's display of autumn colors. Because fall color peaks at different times across the Buckeye State, it helps to plan trips to the northern portion of the state in the first half of the month and southern excursions as the weeks stretch toward November. (The state tracks fall color here, which can help in your planning). 

The key is to make the most of the oranges, reds and yellows as they burst to life, whether we have a few hours or multiple days. This year, we've organized our fall adventures in such a way as well, making suggestions for those who are looking for an afternoon outing, a full day in the woods or a weekend-long getaway surrounded by the beauty of autumn.
