Take advantage of gas at 2 bucks a gallon and drive; drive down River Road… past Toledo… past Maumee… and simply enjoy the fall colors. You will get alternating views of the river and then of a multitude of greens, yellows, oranges and my favorite reds. The road and topography of the hills—swirling up and down and over—are reason enough for the drive.

You can stop at many points along the drive. We chose a spot in Grand Rapids where there is a small dam.
