(WXYZ) — One of the best parts of living in Michigan is the fall colors, and while some head to Northern Michigan to see the leaves change – you can get in your car and see beautiful scenery right here in metro Detroit.
In Oakland County, you can drive along Lahser between Square Lake and Maple, or along Franklin Rd.
“That is the good thing about the midwest, we get all the beautiful tree color changing just beautiful ambiance," Chrissie Jackson said.
“I just love fall colors, I just like all the different kind of colors on the trees," Milad Gorkes from Sterling Heights added.
For the last four years, the County Road Association of Michigan has put together a list of the best roads to check out fall colors in the state.
“These are places that I think the average member of the public probably doesn’t know about, especially if you are going on a fall color tour you are going somewhere that is outside your county it is maybe its somewhere maybe you’re not familiar with," Denise Donohue said. She's the executive directory of the CRAM.
The roads aren't just in Oakland County.
