Immerse yourself in the beauty by taking one of the many local parks. We recommend [Nags Head Woods](https://www.nature.org/en-us/get-involved/how-to-help/places-we-protect/nags-head-woods-ecological-preserve/), which features a dense hardwood forest, or [Kitty Hawk Woods](https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/coastal-management/nc-coastal-reserve/reserve-sites/kitty-hawk-woods-reserve), which is home to expansive rugged wilderness. Don't feel like exercising? Take a drive and admire the leaves!  Time your trip to see peak leaf color using this fall foliage map: [https://smokymountains.com/fall-foliage-map/](https://smokymountains.com/fall-foliage-map/)  #### Pumpkin Patches  Who doesn't love spending the day picking out perfect pumpkins with your loved ones!? Each Saturday in October, you can visit Manteo's iconic [Island Farm Pumpkin Patch](https://obcinc.org/event/pumpkin-patch-october-1-8-15-22/all/).
