Scenic Route

New England doesn't have a corner on "leaf peepers." The country roads of East Texas are lined with cars in both fall and spring to catch the breathtaking beauty of the trees. Many visitors are surprised that this area has an even greater variety of tree species than New England. The best viewing for fall foliage is from mid-October through mid-November when the maples and sweet gum are blazing with color. The sights are just as spectacular in the spring. From mid-March to early April, our woods are blooming with dogwood, redbud and vast arrays of wild flowers. Some of the best scenic drives begin in Pittsburg. Favorite tourist routes are along SH 11, FM 557, and FM 21.
