Yay! We made it through another hot Oklahoma summer and now we get to enjoy the beautiful fall weather and colors in the Sooner State. The leaves will soon begin to change colors, the weather is already cooling down and pumpkin spice lattes are back, so all is well in the world. If you’re wondering where and when to see fall colors in Oklahoma, we’ve got the answers, thanks to our friends at Smoky Mountains. It’s not an exact science, but here’s what we can expect this season, thanks to this Oklahoma fall colors map.
The Fall Foliage Prediction Map from the experts at Smoky Mountains is an interactive tool that predicts when and where to view peak foliage and fall colors across the country, including Oklahoma.

As you can see, Oklahoma doesn’t have any changes until the week of Oct. 17, and even then, it’s only the northern half of the state. By the following week, however, all of Oklahoma will be starting to see some fall colors.

The bright red is peak, the dark orange is near peak, and the light orange represents partial peak.
Thomas & Dianne Jones/Flickr Wondering when to see peak foliage in Oklahoma? As you can tell, that doesn’t happen until mid-November! The northern part of Oklahoma peaks the week of Nov. 14, while the rest of the state can expect peak fall foliage the following week. That gives us over a month of fall foliage-drenched adventures, friends!
One of the best places to see fall foliage is in southeastern Oklahoma.

Of course, no prediction is completely accurate, but hopefully, this gives you a guide to planning your fall foliage viewing.
