The West Virginia Tourism Office has released its 2022 predictive map for fall foliage, estimating the peak of the leaf-peeping season to begin in the Allegheny Mountains in late September.
The end of the peak should fall one month later, at the end of October, in the West Virginia lowlands in the northern panhandle, the Shenandoah Valley, and in the state’s southwestern coalfields.
Weekly fall foliage reports will be updated through the W.Va. Division of Forestry.
Fall Getaway Packages
The Tourism Office is also marketing fall getaway packages coinciding with the season.
