What to Expect This Fall in Georgia (And When the Leaves Will Turn)
Fall is officially here, and that means one of the big questions many of us are asking: When will Georgia’s leaves start changing? If you’re planning weekend drives, hikes, or scenic trips, here’s what to watch for this 2025 fall season.
According to Georgia State Parks’ Leaf Watch, peak colors in the state’s highest elevations typically begin mid to late October, and then progress into November for lower-elevation areas.
Recent forecasts indicate that north Georgia will likely see its most vibrant colors around mid-late October, while Metro Atlanta might hit peak color around early November.
The Old Farmer’s Almanac suggests that while leaf change can start as early as mid-September in some places, the prime window usually falls in October—when crisp nights and mild days often bring out the best in color.
Some predictive maps show that in 2025, visible change may begin in late October in many parts of Georgia, though localized spots—especially in higher altitudes—could tip earlier.
Mark your calendar: Schedule trips to northern Georgia (mountain areas) between mid and late October for the best chance of seeing vibrant fall color.
Scout lower-elevation spots early: Areas closer to the Piedmont may start showing hints of change before the peaks hit.
Check updated foliage maps weekly: Tools like the Explore Fall map and Leaf Watch help track progress in real time.
Pack for all weather: Fall days can shift from warm afternoons to cool evenings fast—layers, good shoes, and rain protection will go a long way.
