Turning over new leaves Fall foliage display likely to be brief By GINA KINSLOWGlasgow Daily Times Officials with Mammoth Cave National Park are reporting “a hint of fall color.”
Black gum makes up a small percentage of the woods and features bright red leaves in the fall. Dogwoods and poison ivy leaves are also beginning to turn red. “Right now there are some pretty places along the road to see fall color, but things are changing quickly,” said Vickie Carson, public information officer for Mammoth Cave National Park. “I think this weekend will be good and probably the following weekend will be good to see fall color.” Some areas of the national park that are better for viewing fall color, she said. Sunset Point, which is at the end of the trail that runs behind Mammoth Cave Hotel, and the Green River Bluff Trail are good spots. Carson suggested taking a drive down the Green River Road, which leads to the ferry that crosses the Green River. “Both the north and south sides are pretty drives,” she said. As for the western portion of the state, officials with the Pennyrile Forest State Resort Park in Dawson Springs say it appears fall has come early there and some leaves, specifically maple tree leaves, have already begun to fall. The Kentucky Department of Travel will be updating the fall color on its Web site throughout the season.
