Fall Foliage in North Georgia: Where to Find the Best Vistas

Vogel State Park  

Vogel State Park sits at the base of Blood Mountain, and it is one of the best places to see fall foliage in North Georgia. The park offers excellent views and hiking trails that range from leisurely, kid-friendly strolls to moderately strenuous excursions. A hike along the Bear Hair Gap Trail will bring you to the Vogel Overlook to reveal incredible views of the mountain. 

Tallulah Gorge

Tallulah Gorge is truly one of the very best spots to check out the turning of the leaves, and experience Fall as you never have before. Plus, it’s just a short drive away from us at Glen Ella Springs! 

Local-tip: If you aren’t sure when to plan your vacation, consult the Georgia State Parks leaf watch tracker. Peak season usually takes place from late October to early November. 

Brasstown Bald  

At 5,000 feet above sea level, Brasstown Bald is the highest peak in the state, and a visit to this unique spot makes for a fantastic day trip! From stunning wildlife to family-friendly hiking trails, there is much to see here. The best part? When you reach the observation deck at the top of Brasstown Bald, you can see multiple states, including the Carolinas and Tennessee!
