Fall Hiking Challenge- Waterleaf Trail Leaf Peep Hike

As days grow shorter and nights grow longer and cooler, biochemical processes in leaves begin to paint the landscape with nature's autumn palette. Hike the Waterleaf Trail with a park interpreter in search of fall colors in the trees and investigate the science behind them. This is a 0.5-mile round trip hike rated easy to moderate.

This guided hike is a part of our Fall Hiking Challenge, where hikers can complete all 17.25 miles of trails in the park in the month of November to complete the challenge. Participation in the challenge is not required to attend this hike.
