Happy fall, y'all! With fall comes vibrant colors that light up our trees and grace our forests with shades of yellow, orange, and red.

As the season's change and the leaves begin to turn, Claytor Lake State Park will be doing fall foliage hayrides around the park every Saturday, starting on October 4th and continuing on until mid-November. The hayrides will start at 1:00 P.M. and go until 5:00 P.M. with every hayride lasting ~1 hour. After November 1st, the time of the hayrides will be from 12-4 P.M. due to the time change.* An interpretive ranger will be on the trailer giving a tour of the park, discussing why the leaves change colors, and other natural things we'll see as we ride around. The dates are as follows:

October 4th

October 11th

October 18th

October 25th

November 1st

November 8th*

November 14th*

We hope to see you in the park!
