On October 24, the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources issued its fifth Fall Foliage Report with regional comments on factors influencing foliage changes.

Impressive fall color throughout the Commonwealth has persisted into this week!

Areas bursting with color include the central and southern reaches of Pennsylvania, especially in Bald Eagle, Rothrock, and Weiser forest districts. Excellent color can also be found in the southern Poconos, central and south Allegheny Plateau, and many counties to the southeast. The diversity of color is likely at the statewide peak, considering the addition of hues from oak species.

Fall foliage enthusiasts should feel blessed with what appears to be an extended peak season!

Don’t forget to look at the comments on foliage by region of the state.
