Fall is a beautiful season in Metro Detroit, as the leaves turn from green to red, orange and yellow. Unfortunately, since we live in the Mitten, blink and you just may miss it. Instead of catching a glimpse of those colors only out of your car window as you drive to and from work, get out and enjoy the seasonal colors southeast Michigan has to offer.

Stony Creek Metropark, found in Shelby Township, is known for the “up north” setting it provides right here in southeast Michigan. While it may be tough to witness the changing of the leaves as it gets dark out, enjoying moonlight wagon rides is a cinch.
