Happy Fall Y’all!
Week 3 of our fall foliage report is bringing some bold color to Table Rock State Park! We’re seeing deep, dark reds popping throughout the park, and our sourwoods are putting on a beautiful show. This week’s featured sourwood is almost entirely red, with just a little green hanging on!
This past weekend’s storm brought us some much-needed rain, which our forests certainly appreciated. However, the wind and weather also knocked quite a few leaves from the trees. While some of our fall color may be finding its way to the forest floor a little sooner than expected, there’s still plenty of beauty to enjoy out on the trails. Sometimes, fall reminds us that nature has its own timeline!
Keep an eye out for those rich reds as you explore the park, and enjoy these beautiful autumn days while they last.
I’ll see you on the trails.

Happy Fall Y’all!
Fall color is slowly making its way across Table Rock State Park! We’re still seeing plenty of green throughout the park, but if you look closely, you’ll start to spot those first little pops of autumn color. Keep your eyes open as you explore the trails - you never know where the next splash of red or yellow might appear!
This week’s featured tree is one of our beautiful Tulip Trees, also known as Yellow Poplar or Tulip Poplar. Its large leaves are beginning to turn a beautiful golden yellow, giving us another sign that fall is on its way!
Come enjoy the changing seasons with us, and don’t forget to slow down and look up!
I’ll see you on the trails.

Happy Fall Y'all!
Fall is just beginning to make its appearance here at Table Rock State Park! While most of our trees are still green, we’re starting to spot the first hints of color. Red Maples, Dogwoods, Sweetgums, and Tulip Poplars are beginning to change, with a few leaves showing off beautiful shades of red, yellow, and gold. Sometimes you don’t have to look far to find fall - this week, one little red leaf on a Red Maple is stealing the show! These subtle changes are a reminder that fall foliage is a gradual process, and every week brings something new to discover. Keep checking back as we watch the colors spread across the park!
I'll see you on the trails!
