Fall is here, and it’s a great time to drive and see the colors. According to the Farmers Almanac, the best time to see the peak fall colors this year in Georgia is October 14th through November 21st.
Go Early
Weekends during peak times for color will be the busiest at these parks. So if you can take a mid-week trip, traffic won’t be nearly as bad. I’ve also found that early morning arrival helps, as you can snap some good pictures before the crowds get there. Also, in these mountain towns, you can always find a great diner to have lunch.
Mountain towns are my favorite places because the scenery is always magnificent. Also, there are lots of local shops to visit. One of my favorite visits recently was in North Carolina in the small town of Brevard, NC.
All About Georgia
But this is about Georgia, and the state parks listed below are great places to see the colors and safe, too. I recently went to Tallulah Gorge State Park, and it is one of my favorites.
If you visit this park, it is pretty steep if you hike down to the suspension bridge (See Pictures below). They have stairs with rails, which are well maintained, but if you’re out of shape, like me, it is a strenuous hike. I made it, but my legs were feeling the burn!
Now, here are the 6 Perfect State Parks In Georgia To See Fall Foliage. Have fun, wear hiking shoes, stock up on water, and stop for a great lunch at one of the many diners you’ll see. I always stop in a local shop for a new sweatshirt or hoodie, too. You never know what you’ll see on these mountain trips, and I always look for interesting places off the beaten path. Who knows….you may even happen upon some goats on a roof!
