Fall Foliage Report for Virginia State Parks

Welcome to our fall foliage report for 2025.

Foliage report for November 6, 2025.

This will be our last foliage report of the season.

Central Virginia's High Bridge Trail State Park is vibrant, especially on the Cumberland side, while Pocahontas State Park still shows beautiful hues despite being past peak. At Twin Lakes State Park, color changes are accelerating with more leaves falling. In Coastal Virginia, First Landing State Park remains colorful, but this may be the last week of peak foliage. The Rainbow Swamps have started to make an early appearance, adding even more vivid color to the mix. Northern Virginia’s Seven Bends features stunning colors, and Sweet Run State Park has colorful trails despite fading vibrancy. Pleasant weather is expected until late in the week when rain and cooler temperatures arrive. In Western Virginia, Douthat State Park retains some oranges and yellows, while Fairy Stone State Park offers dynamic colors. Hungry Mother State Park has fading hues but still captivating views, enhanced by chilly weather and clear skies.

Thanks to our commonwealth’s varying elevations from mountains to shore, we have a long fall foliage season, starting earliest in the higher elevations and moving eastward.

This fall season, find new ways to connect with nature and get outdoors for some fresh air. Whatever adventure you decide on, be sure to share your Virginia State Park photos on social media by using the hashtag #VaStateParks and #FallinVirginia to be part of the online conversation.
