Find It Here and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) are teaming up to launch the Fall in Ohio microsite  – an easy-to-navigate online resource perfect for locals and visitors seeking leaf-peeping tips, incredible fall color views, quintessential festivals and must-see attractions. Delaware County is very very much included in the mix.

“With the summer wrapping up and school back in full swing, many people are looking to maximize their weekends with fun and memorable experiences,” said Matt MacLaren, director of Ohio. Find It Here. “Whether visitors are seeking a fall-themed road trip, a fall festival or even a late-night ghost walk, they can find it on the new Fall in Ohio microsite.”
