Your next stop, if you choose to go west, is Yellowwood State Forest, which is comprised of more than 23,000 acres. This is definitely the time of year to drive the roads around it or even get out and stretch your legs.

The next stop is not for a while and is the Hardin Ridge Recreation Area. After the road takes you over Lake Monroe, you'll find this lovely place not far from it.

Drive on by or plan to camp at this wonderful spot that is shaded by ancient hardwood trees.
The final stop on this fall foliage tour is the tiny and somewhat abandoned community of Story, Indiana that has little more than a vintage inn and a general store. It is certainly quite the view to drive through this unique town in autumn.
