Georgia, this might be the silver lining of 2020 that we’ve been waiting for. We are about to enter into prime leaf-peeping time throughout many parts of the state, with claims that this could be the very best fall color Georgia has had in years. With patches of color popping up in the northern part of the state, many foresters are thinking that peak color will be on track for late October into early November. Might be a little late than normal this year, but boy, is it going to be a show!

One thing we can all count on every year in Georgia is that fall will be a magical time.

With the changing of the leaves comes a bevy of color that people will drive from all over to enjoy.

This year, experts are saying that prime leaf-peeping won’t begin until late October, early November, which is a little late compared to recent years.

But, that doesn’t mean that it won’t be one heck of a show.

A lot of visitors and residents of Georgia take to the state parks in order to get the true feel for what nature brings each autumn.

Road trips too, become the perfect catalyst for catching color, especially when driving through parts of North Georgia.

Keep your eyes peeled for purple fall wildflowers, deep red sourwoods, and vibrant orange dogwoods.

According to the SmokyMountains.com Fall Foliage Prediction Map, around October 19th is when things will really start to take shape.
