If you’re like us, autumn in Indy will have you falling for foliage.

Here are some of the best spots around Indy to catch the changing colors:
🍁 Eagle Creek Park
🍁 Holliday Park
🍁 White River State Park
🍁 The Monon Trail
🍁 Pleasant Run Trail
🍁 Crown Hill Cemetery

Road trip worthy:
🍁 Brown County State Park
🍁 Turkey Run State Park
🍁 Parke County
🍁 Cataract Falls

Friendly reminder: We’re running a Fall-tography contest now until Fri., Oct. 28.
We’re looking for photos that show what it’s like to experience autumn in Indy. (Hint: Think leaves, themed festivals and foods, etc.). Submissions can be emailed to us + our favorite will be announced on Fri., Nov. 4.
