Fall Foliage Report for Virginia State Parks

Welcome to our fall foliage report for 2026.

Foliage reports will start Sept. 24, 2026.

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.

Read this blog to see the best places to view the foliage in our parks. For more information see the Department of Forestry's foliage report.
