Arkansas Autumn Leaves
Leaf-Lookers Guide

Arkansas starts to lose its summer green in mid-October. Of course it starts earlier in the Ozarks along the Missouri border, proceeds through the Boston Mountains and about a week later erupts throughout the Ouachita Mountains of mid-Arkansas. Expect to see a lot of orange and reds (black gums, hawthorns, sumacs and red maples) speckled with yellows and golds (black ash, tulip trees, silver maples, walnuts and cottonwoods). The white ash and white oak turns a deep, dark purple. The beech and birch are yellow, or dull orange or, sometimes, an almost red as though they're not sure what to wear.

Favorite loops for viewing autumn leaves include:

• Alma/Russellville (I-40) Trek
• Boston Mountains Trek
• Hot Springs National Park
• Lakes Loop
• Rogers Loop
• Springdale Loop

For routes near the Missouri border, see Missouri Autumn Leaves - Leaf-Lookers Guide.
