Calling all leaf peepers! We’ve got some great news for you. The colors of fall will be here soon. And to make sure you don’t miss a thing, the folks over at smokymountains.com have created a Fall Foliage Map, which uses a proprietary algorithm to predict fall foliage changes across the U.S.
Fall colors in Mississippi may not be as intense as some northern states, but that doesn’t mean the Magnolia State is lacking when it comes to seasonal beauty.
Luckily, The Fall Foliage Map takes the guesswork out of the when. Created by smokymountains.com, the interactive map features a click-and-drag feature that allows you to see fall foliage changes throughout the nation.
Colorful leaves line the parkway; however, there are a couple of spots known for incredible foliage, such as the River Bend Picnic Area (pictured), Little Mountain, and Ross Barnett Reservoir.
Ready to start planning your leaf-peeping adventure? Remember, that while the Fall Foliage Map has proven to be correct in the past, no tool can be 100% accurate. To view the interactive Fall Foliage Map, click here.
