J.B. Weisenfels has lived in rural Arkansas for three decades. She is a writer, a mom, and a graduate student. She is also an avid collector of tacky fish whatnots, slightly chipped teapots, and other old things. In her spare time she enjoys driving to the nearest creek to sit a while. If you were to visit her, she'd try to feed you cornbread.
The small town of Paris, Arkansas offers more charm than one small town should be able to hold. Set near the unbelievably scenic Mount Magazine, Paris is an idyllic little town full of charm, friendly people, and incredible natural wonder. With delicious restaurants, an adorable downtown area, and proximity to some truly breathtaking natural beauty, there’s no better time to visit Paris that in the fall. Paris, Arkansas gives Paris, France a run for its money when it comes to scenery, and all that talk about the glorious changing of the leaves in New England? Forget about it. New England leaves pale in comparison to what you’ll find on Mount Magazine.
The biggest draw in Paris is Mount Magazine State Park. I apologize to other Arkansas mountains, but Mount Magazine is the best place to see the changing leaves.
I’ve basically devoted my entire life to the written word, and I have no language strong enough to proclaim the beauty of the fall views from Cameron Bluff.
