Pennsylvania Fall Color
Use the Pennsylvania fall foliage map to compare color timing across the Poconos, Allegheny Plateau, Laurel Highlands, central ridges, and southeastern valleys. Pennsylvania has a large elevation range and extensive hardwood forest, so peak color can vary widely across the state.
The Poconos, Jim Thorpe, Wellsboro, Pennsylvania Grand Canyon, Cook Forest, Ohiopyle, and the Allegheny National Forest are all strong fall foliage destinations, but they do not always peak together. Northern and higher terrain often changes earlier than the Philadelphia suburbs, Lancaster County, and lower Susquehanna Valley.
Finding Peak Color in Pennsylvania

Northern and higher terrain often changes earlier than the Philadelphia suburbs, Lancaster County, and lower Susquehanna Valley.
Use the map for statewide timing, then check a specific town, overlook, trail, or scenic drive with the fall foliage forecast. Local elevation, forest type, drought stress, wind, and recent rain can all affect how long peak Pennsylvania fall color holds.
