Fall Foliage Report for Virginia State Parks

Welcome to our fall foliage report for 2023.

Fall foliage reports for Nov. 2, 2023.

Peak season is in full bloom in many parts of Virginia, except the southwest region where most leaves have already begun to fall. There are plenty of fall events to enjoy no matter what color leaves are on the trees so be sure to plan your park visit before it gets too cold. This will be our last report of the season.

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.
