The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Thursday Fall Foliage Report found Fall colors continue to progress throughout the state, with vibrant color in the southern Pocono area extending toward the middle portion of the Commonwealth along the Appalachian Mountains.

Peak foliage for oak-dominated communities from the northcentral tier into southern Pennsylvania is still developing and expected in the next forecast.

East-central and west-central counties are showing good color, while expected peak in the southeast is still roughly more than one week away.
