One of the best places to take in the fall colors this week would be Four Mile Creek State Park, located just two miles east of Fort Niagara on the lakefront in the town of Porter, but be forewarned before you drive north on the Robert Moses Parkway to this state park (and thank God for the parkway, without which these northern locales would remain as wild and inaccessible as remote areas of the North Pole), because the park is closed.
According to its State Parks web site, Four Mile Creek State Park "is located near the shores of Lake Ontario and offers spectacular panoramic views.
The main feature of Four Mile Creek State Park, however, is its 275 postage-stamp-sized campsites, each of which rake in a basic $17.25 a day for State Parks.
