Fall brings incredible colors to western Kentucky. In Paducah, oak, maple, gingko, sweetgum and hackberry trees turn incredible colors of reds, yellows and purples that delight visitors and locals each autumn. Especially beautiful are the dogwood trees. Paducah celebrates the dogwoods in the spring during the annual Dogwood Trail Celebration when the white blooms are highlighted on a Lighted Dogwood Trail and Daytime Historic Trail. In the fall, these dogwoods, with their dark red leaves, are just as beautiful.
