Lost Maples Park Headquarters is the gateway to canyon rim overlooks, maple-clad slopes and the Medina River — a prime spot for fall color and intimate forest/stream compositions. Best visited mid‑Oct–early Nov for peak foliage; sunrise and late afternoon provide warm light and long shadows. Park has a staffed entrance with day-use fee and a parking lot; trails range from easy to moderate, bring sturdy shoes and water. Weekdays and early mornings are least crowded.
