Fall draws closer, Auburn's leaves begin to change
By Molly Montgomery / STAFF WRITER | October 22Fall is upon us here at Auburn, and it wouldn't be complete without the changing colors of the autumn leaves.Autumn in Auburn is a great time of year, and along with Auburn Tiger Football and crisp fall cookouts, is some of the most beautiful scenery in the South.Leaves are changing colors, and when looking for a great place to study, take pictures or just take a walk, keep in mind that Auburn has several scenic routes from which to choose.Enjoying the fall leaves is a simple thing to do, if you know where to look.Among some of the best places to catch some seasonal scenery are Chewacla State Park, The Davis Arboretum, Auburn's Town Creek Park and Tuskegee National Forest."The best place to look for fall leaves is probably The Overlook," said Odell Banks, parks manager of Chewacla State Park.The Overlook is on the Deer Rub Trail of the state park and overlooks a beautiful view of the forestry below.Banks also said that since the cool weather is just beginning, it could be a few more weeks before Auburn sees fall leaves around this area."The drive up to the park is also nice," Banks said.Chewacla is open from 7 a.m.
