New York Fall Color

Use the New York fall foliage map to compare estimated color timing across the Adirondacks, Catskills, Finger Lakes, Hudson Valley, western New York, and New York City area.

A state-level search can hide major regional differences, but this map makes it easier to see where fall color is advancing each day.

Finding Peak Color in New York

New York fall foliage can peak early in the Adirondack High Peaks and later in the Hudson Valley, Long Island, and lower-elevation urban areas.

Lake Placid, Lake George, Ithaca, the Catskills, Letchworth State Park, and the lower Hudson Valley often have different best viewing windows in the same season.

Use the interactive map to plan the general region, then search a specific destination with the fall foliage forecast. Elevation, lake influence, and forest composition can shift peak color by many days, especially between mountain towns and nearby valleys.
