This map is an estimate of fall foliage conditions on the posted date. All maps are updated daily to reflect deviations from normal due to real-time weather conditions.

Use the Tennessee fall foliage map to compare estimated color timing across the Great Smoky Mountains, Cumberland Plateau, Highland Rim, and lower valleys. East Tennessee often changes before middle and western parts of the state, especially in higher mountain terrain.

Gatlinburg, Townsend, Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Fall Creek Falls, Chattanooga, and the Natchez Trace area can each have distinct foliage timing. Oaks, hickories, maples, sweetgums, and tulip poplars create a long season that often shifts from high elevations to lower valleys.

Use the map to choose the right region, then check a specific town, trailhead, or scenic drive with the fall foliage forecast. Tennessee fall color can remain good after mountain peaks fade if you move to lower elevations or plateau forests.
