The fall foliage in the states, roughly speaking, starts as early as mid September and ends as late as mid November.
Traditionally, places such as New York State, Massachusetts, Vermont and Maine in New England, as well as Wisconsin and Michigan in the Midwest experience the fall foliage first.
If you’re planning a late fall foliage vacation and are wondering what the best destinations in November are, here it is a list of some of the best places to see fall foliage:

Arkansas: If you’re looking to enjoy a late fall foliage vacation, the state of Arkansas is probable one of the best places to travel for leaf-peepers. For instance, the majestic Ouachita Forest has many great spots for watching the leaves turning color.  One of the best places to see fall foliage within Ouachita National Forest is Little Missouri Falls recreational area, near Glenwood Arkansas.

Mississippi: North of Mississippi, Holly Springs National Forest is one of the most popular places to see the fall foliage in early November. One of the best spots within Holly Springs National Forest is the Wall Doxey State Park, which is centered on a lovely spring lake. Apart from being a great spot for seeing the leaf color change, Wall Doxey State Park is just 30 miles of Memphis Tennessee.

The cities of Huntsville AL and Decatur AL are within a short distance of some of the best places to see fall foliage. For instance, the Joe Wheeler State Park is just 30 miles west of Decatur, and offers the perfect spot for enjoying other activities such as fishing, boating and hiking. Then, you have the Monte Sano State Park which is just 5 miles east of Huntsville, AL.
