Fall Hikes in State Parks

Whether it's the mountains at the Lake of the Ozarks or Mark Twain National Forest there is something about taking in the colors of fall on a hike. Even I (who hates everything outdoors) enjoy taking a fall hike and admiring all of the colors.

• Ha Ha Tonka State Park (Camdenton)
• Elephant Rocks State Park (Belleview)
• Castlewood State Park (Ballwin)
• Mark Twain National Forest (Various Locations)

Exploring Haunted Attractions

This may not be for the little kiddos, but learning about haunted houses, cemeteries, or towns could be a fun day (or night) activity. Hannibal does an amazing job with their haunting tours, but there are others that you can explore.

• Lemp Mansion Haunted History Tour ( St. Louis)
• Vaile Mansion Ghost Tours (Independence)
• Pythian Castle Ghost Tour (Springfield)
• Joplin Spool Lightg Tour (Joplin)

No matter what you decide there is plenty to do in the fall. It's just a matter of what you can all fit in before Old Man Winter comes.
