It’s finally starting to get colder, the leaves are starting to turn, and Halloween is just around the corner. With the weather getting cooler and the trees starting to color, there is no better time to explore Georgia’s beautiful state parks! And we have some excellent ways for you to experience the wonderful weather. From leaf watching to trick-or-treating, we’ve got it all!
Kicking things off with some color, check out Georgia’s Leafwatch. Every October, Georgia’s mountains turn to a vibrant blanket of red and gold as the leaves begin to change. Peak color is usually mid to late October at the highest elevations, moving into early November at lower elevations. The best parks to visit to see beautiful colors now are:
Amicalola Falls State Park & Lodge
Black Rock Mountain State Park
Cloudland Canyon State Park
F.D. Roosevelt State Park
Fort Mountain State Park
Moccasin Creek State Park
Smithgall Woods State Park
Tallulah Gorge State Park
Unicoi State Park & Lodge
Vogel State Park
If you get to visit any of these beautiful parks, make sure you take pictures and share them with us on social media using the #GALeafwatch!
