When to see peak color at Tyler State Park
Peak fall color is predicted around November 17. Plan for the strongest viewing window from November 12 to November 22.
- Predicted peak
- November 17
- Best window
- November 12 – November 22
- Confidence range
- ±5 days
The prediction comes from 24 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 Tyler and across Texas.
That is 5 days later than usual (November 13): the six weeks to October 24 ran 4.8°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.
