The 2025 Fall Foliage Map

The nights are beginning to draw in which can only mean one thing: autumn is nearly upon us! And for "leaf-peepers" everywhere, that means it's time to consult the annual Smoky Mountain 2025 Fall Foliage Map. This incredibly popular interactive map is back to help you predict the best time to see the vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows of fall across the United States.

Every year, Smoky Mountain releases this map, which plots the predicted progression of fall colors across the contiguous United States. Using a sophisticated data model that incorporates historical and forecasted temperature and precipitation, as well as tree types, the map provides a county-by-county forecast.

The map's interface is straightforward and user-friendly. A date control at the bottom allows you to slide through the weeks, from early September to late November, to see the expected leaf color progression. It's a fantastic tool for planning a scenic drive or a hiking trip to catch the leaves at their peak.
