Pro tip – don’t forget, mid to late October is peak foliage season.
Ritchey Woods
10410 Hague Road
To really get in tune with nature, head over to Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve! Ritchey Woods is one of the only two state-designated nature preserves in Hamilton County. There are over 127 acres and nine trails to explore. Follow the trails to find a winding bridge tucked away in the woods. The trees keep it shady, but when the sun is out, it trickles through to make for the perfect spotlight. With all of that space, there is an unimaginable number of spots to grab the perfect fall picture.
Pro tip: Please remember to stay on the trails to preserve nature and wildlife!
Ambassador House

The Ambassador House at Heritage Park is surrounded by beautiful flowers and landscaping year-round, and its backdrop is sure to give any photo that cozy fall feel. Between the gorgeous home, flowers, and trees, there are many opportunities to grab a beautiful picture for your Insta feed!
Pro Tip: Check to make sure there isn’t a wedding or event happening so you can explore the grounds freely! Reach out to them at ambassadorhouse@fishers.in.us.

Nickel Plate District Amphitheater
6 Municipal Drive
Not much of a nature person? I totally get it, sometimes the bugs and the critters aren’t for everyone. If that’s the case, check out the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater! This is for those who are going for more of a city vibe on their Instagram aesthetic. The blue and green panels make for a fun photo, and there are still surrounding trees if you want that hint of fall in the background.
Pro Tip: snap a photo being the “I” in Fishers on the back of the NPD AMP pavilion.
