Past Peak
Brightness and depth of color have begun to fade. Leaf drop has begun and will accelerate from this point.

(Updated 10/31/09)

Why drive to New England to see the colors, when they are right here in DeSoto Resort State Park atop Lookout Mountain!

Come and enjoy the Autumn season with us as the Summer ends and the Fall begins. Historically Fall color peak is about the 3rd weekend of October into November, be sure to make your reservations for our motel rooms, Log or Rustic cabins, Chalets, & Campsites well in advance.
