Peak Season for Autumn Colors at Smith Mountain Lake, VA
Yes, it's that time again! The
lake is reflecting an almost surreal array of autumnal colors,
making every vantage point on the lake, look like a watercolor
painting!
We just ended summer about 72
hours ago, with high's in the mid 80's and now a cold front has
moved and the winds are kicking up so that we don't forget we have
4 seasons!
Typically the peak colors for
fall foliage are the last week of October through the first week
of November.
