Discover the best times and places to see fall foliage in Georgia with the help of an interactive map.

Is there any better season than fall in Georgia? Autumn has it all, from delicious foods to fun fall festivals, not to mention cooler days after the brutal heat of a Peach State summer. Those first few crisp mornings of fall always have us wondering "when do the leaves change color in Georgia?" Leaf peeping is such a fun autumn activity, and there's plenty of great places to spot fall foliage in Georgia, but you definitely want to time your adventures properly.

If you're looking to plan a fall foliage road trip in Georgia, we've got a Georgia fall foliage map 2024 from Smoky Mountains that will help you figure out when the trees will be at their peak colors. Check out this interactive map:

If living in Georgia has taught us anything, it's that weather can be unpredictable. It's not unusual to have 90-degree days well past Labor Day through much of the state! There's no sure answer for "when do leaves change in Georgia?"

This map uses weather conditions and history to try to determine when leaves all over the country will be at peak colors. By the middle of October, you can expect most of the state to have patchy autumn hues.

Towards the end of October and early November, North Georgia should be right around peak colors.

It doesn't get cool enough in most of South Georgia for areas like Albany or Savannah to see much fall foliage, but head towards the North Georgia mountains and you'll be treated to beautiful views.

By the end of November, all those beautiful golds, oranges, and reds will be gone.

Where are your favorite places for leaf peeping in Georgia? I know it's a bit cliche, but I love visiting Helen. It's such a delightful small town and the natural scenery is just as amazing as the German vibe.
