When to see peak color at Daingerfield State Park (Piney Woods)
Peak fall color is predicted around November 13. Plan for the strongest viewing window from November 8 to November 18.
- Predicted peak
- November 13
- Best window
- November 8 – November 18
- Confidence range
- ±5 days
The prediction comes from 14 years of fall color records at this spot, checked against what observers on the ground saw. Where state foliage spotters report peak (New York, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Missouri), it has landed inside our ±5-day window about two years in three. An unusual summer or autumn can still move it further. Explore fall color around Daingerfield and across Texas.
That is 5 days later than usual (November 8): the six weeks to October 24 ran 5.6°F warmer than the 2001–2025 average, and a warmer run before peak delays the color. This will settle about ten days before peak, as the weather comes in.
