Fall is on its way, and what better way to welcome the season by capturing your favorite picture perfect moments? Here are our top 5 spots (in no particular order) in Allen to collect memories you won’t want to forget!
Fall Foliage at the Park
When the leaves start to turn, Bethany Lakes Park offers plenty of picture-perfect backdrops for capturing a little fall color. Wander along the trails beneath the trees, find a quiet spot overlooking the water or snap a family photo surrounded by the park’s changing leaves. With peaceful ponds, tree-lined paths and plenty of open green space, it’s an easy place to capture that quintessential autumn shot without having to venture far from the city.
Take a Hike
Get outside and enjoy a different view of fall along Allen’s hiking and biking trails. As the trees begin to change, miles of trails wind through parks, wooded areas and natural spaces that make an easy backdrop for a fall photo. Bring your furry friend, round up the kids or head out for a solo stroll and keep your camera ready for colorful leaves, tree-lined paths and those little signs of the season you’ll spot along the way.
The Classic Family Photo
For that classic fall family photo, Allen Station Trail makes it easy to get everyone in the frame without turning picture day into an expedition. With trees and natural scenery providing a simple seasonal backdrop, you can snap a few photos without an extensive walk or hike. Once you’ve gotten the shot (and maybe a few dozen extras for good measure), let the kids trade posing for playtime at the nearby playground.
A Little Vintage Charm
You don’t need changing leaves for a great fall photo. Armor Brewing Co.’s vintage truck brings a little rustic charm to the season and makes an easy backdrop for your next camera roll favorite. Snap a few photos by the truck, then head inside and make an afternoon of it with a local brew, craft cocktail and something good to eat.
Next Stop: Allen
Add a little local history to your camera roll at the Allen Depot, where the historic locomotive makes a backdrop that’s hard to miss. Find your angle, strike a pose and snap a shot with a piece of Allen’s railroad history. While you’re there, explore Allen Heritage Village for even more historic scenery and a glimpse into Allen’s past.
