Central Virginia is experiencing vibrant fall colors this week as trees change due to the breakdown of chlorophyll. At High Bridge State Park, peak foliage has been observed, with the recent light rain enhancing the colors. The weather has been pleasant, and with clearer skies predicted for the weekend, it's a great time to enjoy the autumn scenery. Holliday Lake State Park is showcasing deep reds, dusty golds and russet hues, with leaves forming colorful carpets along the hiking trails. James River State Park is at its peak, displaying a stunning mix of reds, oranges and yellows. Although Pocahontas State Park's colors aren't as vibrant this year, hints of yellow and orange can be found among the maple and poplar trees. Visitors should stay on the trails, as the fallen leaves offer good camouflage for eastern copperheads. Meanwhile, Powhatan State Park is bursting with peak autumn colors in reds, oranges and yellows, particularly among sweetgums, oaks and hickories. Lastly, at Twin Lakes State Park, color changes are becoming more pronounced, with diminishing green visible day by day.

Colors are popping this week at Bear Creek Lake State Park as most of the trees have started changing color as the chlorophyll cells continue to break down.

The foliage at High Bridge State Park is currently at its peak color, which, as expected, is a bit earlier than in previous years. Last Saturday, the colors appeared somewhat faded. Light rain has really brought the color out on our deciduous trees and vines, and it looks like we are now in peak color. We have had excellent weather, and the skies are predicted to clear up by this coming weekend. We are beginning to see more leaves falling to the ground. Now is the perfect time to enjoy the fall colors in our park.

Overall, the woods are now saturated with fall color, with hickories nearly completely gold. Even the oaks are starting to turn. Some trees are already barren for the Winter from the dry conditions and high winds. As predicted, we are entering peak color now, which is early for us. Usually, our peak color for most showy species in Southside Virginia coincides with the week of Halloween, followed by the oaks showing their muted color into November.

About 50 percent of trees are showing fall color now. Dogwoods are now an attractive deep red, as well as all of the Virginia creeper vines. Hickories are about half gold and half green. Even the poison ivy leaves are changing to an attractive bright yellow. It might take an ocean of calamine lotion if you mess around with it, so look but don't touch.

On clear autumn days, the lake reflects the beautiful colors of the surrounding foliage like a mirror.

Although the weather at Pocahontas State Park has been somewhat dull, the leaves are starting to change. Most of the leaves in our pictures are brown; however, visitors will also find bright yellow and orange hues among the park's maple and poplar trees. While the colors may not be as vibrant as in previous years, the leaves will still provide good camouflage for the park's eastern copperheads, which can be difficult to spot among the leaf litter. Please remember to stay on the trails!

Cooler temperatures with drier air have resulted in some changes around the park. Walking down the Spillway trail, visitors will notice our Hickory trees turning bronze as the chill autumn winds finally find their way to Chesterfield County. Sitting behind the CCC Museum or at one of our benches overlooking Beaver Lake provides an enchanting view of the Oak leaves making their way down to the soil on the chill breeze. Box Turtles will be happy for this new leaf litter, which will provide cover for them as they brumate in the Winter.

This fall, the colors have been slow to arrive. Mild temperatures and frequent rain have kept many trees green longer than usual, delaying the vibrant reds and golds we typically see this time of year. If you're checking out the color from the bench at the Overlook, you'll have better views if you turn around. Although most of us enjoy the typical oranges and yellows of fall, don't miss the greens and purples of the American beautyberry, a vital fall food source for deer and birds.

At Pocahontas State Park, the continued warm weather has kept many green leaves on the trees; however, park staff and visitors are still seeing a lot of wildlife, especially snakes and turtles. Closer to Beaver Lake, you'll notice a change in color as the aquatic vegetation dies back (scientists call this process "senescence").

As we enter the first full week of fall, it still looks (and feels) like we're in the tail end of summer. High temperatures and rainy days mean not much has changed for most of our trees at Pocahontas State Park, particularly along the Beaver Lake Overlook. Soon, the oaks will turn a deep red, but for now, a few yellowed leaves from the tulip poplar litter the ground, while the anthocyanins found in the leaves of the black gum display a brilliant shade of red.

The fall colors may not be the most spectacular we've ever seen, but some trees are certainly putting on a great show. The bright yellows of the hickories are particularly striking, and the sweetgums are a delightful shade of purple. Oaks and maples are just beginning to show hints of color at the tips of their branches, and they should look lovely in a few days.

The yellow haze of goldenrod is beginning to fade in the fields, and while most of the trees have yet to display their most ostentatious hues, a few are beginning to put on a show. The sweetgums have brought out their deep purples; the dogwoods and sumacs are taking the hint as well, showing off a bit of scarlet. Greens and browns are still the most abundant colors, but there are definite signs that that won't be true for long.
