From Virginia State Parks:
Welcome to our fall foliage report for 2020. Each week we will be taking pictures at various parks and highlighting them below. Click the buttons below to look at each park’s report and images.
For the week of October 29.
The western parks are at peak or just slightly past peak this week. There are still plenty of colors to see, but leaves are coming down so you will want to get out to the parks very soon for the best views. The parks always have stunning views, but the colors are making their way to the ground or already there.
Most trees are well into their color change while oaks are just getting started in Virginia’s central region parks. With lots of rain and wind scheduled for the weekend, now may be one of the best times this year to witness fall colors in the central region.
Cooler, wetter air has moved into the coastal area and has consistently covered much of the region in fog. The views of the park are still lovely, with fall color popping through the early morning mist. Much of the area’s trees have held onto their green, but some larger hardwoods recently began their transformation–smaller species and bushy undergrowth continues to change golden yellows and warmer reds.
