Self-Guided: Autumn Colors

Head out on your own schedule to explore the Black Bear Trail, a 2.1-mile loop at the Nature Center in Liberty Park. As you follow the marked trail signs throughout the season, you'll discover information about how trees change color in fall. This is a perfect activity for families who enjoy self-paced outdoor time and want to learn something new while experiencing the season's natural beauty. This program runs through late October, giving you plenty of flexibility to visit whenever works best for your family. It's designed for all ages and requires no advance registration—simply show up and start exploring. For questions about the trail or program, you can reach the Nature Realm Visitors Center at the number listed on our details page.
