A Clinton Township, MI Chevy dealer hears the same question every October: where is the best nearby spot to catch peak color without a long drive? Moran Chevrolet has been collecting answers from customers and staff for years. Here are three scenic trips to take in your Chevrolet SUV.

Stony Creek Metropark's 500-Acre Lake

Spanning 4,461 acres around a 500-acre man-made lake, Stony Creek Metropark delivers some of the most reliable color in the area. A paved path circles the lake itself, so you can take in the color from behind the wheel before parking to walk any of the park's 14 miles of hiking trails.

A Quicker Option at Lake St. Clair Metropark

Covering 770 acres in Harrison Township, Lake St. Clair Metropark, often called Metro Beach, pairs fall color with open water views along a 1-mile paved shoreline path. Established in 1950, its nature center has recorded 275 species of birds over the years, and it is the shortest drive on this list when you only have an hour to spare.

A Slower Pace at Wolcott Mill Metropark

Ray Township's Wolcott Mill Metropark covers 2,625 acres of farmland and woods along the Clinton River, including a 250-acre working farm and 10 miles of equestrian trails. Fewer visitors make for a quieter drive than the busier parks closer to the city.
