If your favorite fall pastime is capturing the perfect photo, we want to see your adventures. Our annual Leaf Watch Travel Planner includes photo galleries where park guests can show off their skills. (And even if you don’t post to Instagram, you can still upload your favorite fall-color shots.) Tag #GaLeafWatch and #GaStateParks, and tell us which park you're visiting, for a chance to be featured throughout the leaf-watching season. Need help deciding where to go? Leaf Watch lists top Georgia State Parks for vibrant leaves, tips for finding campsites and cabins, an event calendar and more. (Photo of Vogel State Park by @bones.105.)

From the Revolutionary War to the Civil War, and from the gold rush to presidential homes, Georgia has played an important role in many events that formed our nation. Our State Historic Sites take you back in time, often with museums, outdoor exhibits, re-enactments, programs led by knowledgeable historians, and even scenic walking trails. Admission fees vary among historic sites, and disabled veteran discounts are available. You can even save money with an annual pass that includes admission to more than 15 locations like Dahlonega Gold Museum, Roosevelt’s Little White House and colonial Wormsloe.

Haunted tales and trails await for those who venture out over Halloween Weekend. On October 28, A.H. Stephens welcomes ghouls for hayrides, games, a movie on the lawn and campsite decorating contest. Also on the 28th, Jack Hill has holiday-themed crafts and games, while Fort King George hosts trick-or-treating inside the fort’s walls. On Friday and Saturday nights in October, F.D. Roosevelt State Park will spook you with Nightmare on 190, a walk-through haunted house. Fridays in October, Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation weaves stories of ghosts and legends. On October 27, campers at Fort McAllister can participate in The Haunting of Savage Island, and on October 28, kids can enjoy Trunk-or-Treat at Panola Mountain.
