This past weekend we went back to our favorite spots for fall foliage in northeast Ohio: Mohican State Park and Malabar Farm. At Mohican we stopped at Pleasant Hill Dam. We photographed the foliage in the Clear Fork Gorge on one side of the dam and along Pleasant Hill Lake on the other. Lots of people were taking advantage of the wonderful weather to sight-see, hike, or boat on the lake. We then drove over to Mohican Lodge for lunch and a short walk from the lodge over to the lake.
We also climbed the fire tower at Mohican State Park to photograph the surrounding area. The fire tower is 80 feet tall and located on a hill-top, so there’s a pretty good view of the state park and surrounding state forest.
Our final stop was Mt Jeez overlooking Malabar Farm. This is a popular vantage point and was very popular this past weekend with an almost full parking area.
The foliage in this area of Ohio was near peak during our visit and will probably be at peak this coming weekend (Oct. 18-20, 2013).

You are so fortunate; colors here in central Indiana are not as vibrant.
Very beautiful fall colors in Your post. My favorite is the second photos from the top.
Your photos are stunning! Beautiful! You’ve captured the trees at the peak of their colors!
Thank you. I think that we were actually about a week away from peak color.
Then I shall look forward to more colorful colors! 🙂
The colours are brilliant! This fall is the best that i have seen in some time.
It’s interesting the way the weather has a big effect on timing and colorfulness. This year the weather’s been very cooperative.
Beautiful! You have a lot more color than we do right now…
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the pictures.
