Maple Woods Natural Area

If you're looking for fall leaves then you have found the right place. This natural area is home to small forest of Maple trees. Those Maple trees are at their best from late September through early November, as Kansas City transitions through its seasons.The area is home to a main trail, which is roughly a mile long in distance and has some off shoots, if you have time for a side quest. You'll share these trails with other hikers. Dogs are allowed as long as they're friendly and on a leash. I didn't see any bikes.There is a small parking lot at the entrance. I don't think you'll have any issues finding a spot, but I can see it filling up at peak times.
