August 15, 2025
The West Virginia Department of Tourism has announced its 2025 fall foliage projection map.
The map predicts when and where fall foliage will appear across the state, and will help travelers plan any autumn trips around West Virginia.
The West Virginia Department of Tourism and the West Virginia Division of Forestry put together the map and said that the summer rainfall totals will lead to ‘exceptional color’ this season.
“West Virginia’s mountains are poised to put on one of their most breathtaking shows yet,” said West Virginia Division of Forestry Director Jeremey Jones. “With the wet summer and perfect mix of warm days and crisp nights, we’re expecting vibrant reds, brilliant oranges, and golden yellows to sweep across the hillsides this fall.”
