Winter is just around the corner but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to enjoy the striking autumnal colors. If you’re looking forward to spending a peaceful afternoon wandering through a glowing forest of warm fall foliage, then you’ll want to pay a visit to White Clay Creek State Park.
Located just north of Newark, White Clay State Park is an expansive park that is brimming with beautiful views at any time of year, but there’s something about the fall foliage that makes it feel like a private sanctuary.
