Fall is coming to life in the Ozarks! |
The shutdown of America's national parks is partially jeopardizing one of the favorite seasons in the mountains of the South - the Fall Leaf Watch.
Pea Ridge National Military Park, Buffalo National River, Horseshoe Bend National Military Park, Little River Canyon National Preserve and all other national parks in the south, as well as national forest recreation areas, etc., are all closed. These closures are having a major impact on the fall tourist season in the South as the federal government has blocked American cities from enjoying hundreds of thousands of acres of their public lands to enjoy Leaf Watch 2013.
Thankfully, state and local parks, state forests, etc., remain open. Here is a list of some places in Alabama and Arkansas where you can still enjoy this year's Leaf Change. All of these parks are open and ready to welcome you and your family!
