Wisconsin Fall Color
Use the Wisconsin fall foliage map to track color from the Northwoods and Lake Superior shore to Door County, the Driftless Area, and southern Wisconsin. Latitude, lake influence, and rolling terrain can create large differences between northern forests and cities like Madison or Milwaukee.
Popular Wisconsin foliage areas include Bayfield, Ashland, Minocqua, Eagle River, Door County, Devil's Lake, and the Mississippi River bluffs. Maples and aspens often drive bright early color in the north, while oaks and mixed hardwoods can extend the season farther south.
