Go on a Fall Foliage Tour Around Baltimore

Fall is in the air. The leaves are just starting to change color around Baltimore, and in another week or two, they'll be in their full, colorful glory. If you're looking for a fun way to relax on the weekend, consider taking a drive to admire the fall foliage. Our real estate agents recommend visiting one or more of these top spots.

• Druid Hill Park: 900 Druid Park Lake Dr., Baltimore, MD 21217
  Druid Hill Park is one of the oldest parks in the United States. Spanning approximately 745 acres, it has many tree-lined paths and pretty groves where you can admire the leaves changing colors. You can sit on the banks of the Druid Hill Reservoir and enjoy a picnic or toss a few discs around the disc golf course.
  
  Druid Hill Park also has a few playgrounds that appeal to kids. There's also a Zen Garden, ball fields, and tennis courts. If the weather is nice, you could easily spend all day at this park just playing and admiring the trees.
  
  
• Patterson Park: 27 S. Patterson Park Ave., Baltimore, MD 21217
  If you love red maple trees, then Patterson Park is a great place to visit. This large, grassy park is surrounded by red maples and oaks, which turn lovely shades of orange in the fall. 
  
  Patterson Park is split into two areas. The western side has some lovely walking paths and open lawns, and the east side offers recreational elements like tennis courts, basketball courts, and a softball field.
  
  
• Baltimore's Inner Harbor: 401 Light St., Baltimore, MD 21217
  Another fun place to admire color-changing trees is along Baltimore's Inner Harbor. You can start at the Baltimore Visitor Center at 401 Light Street and then walk from Canton to Locust Point. The trees planted along the waterfront are a beautiful backdrop against the blue water.
  
  There are also plenty of museums to visit along the waterfront if you want to make a day of it. Stop by the Maryland Science Center or Port Discovery Children's Museum. You'll also walk by the U.S.S. Constellation, a historic warship built in the 1850s.
