Football season and school sessions are starting, signaling the approach of a colorful natural display. An interactive map by Explore Fall tracks leaf color, providing a guide to peak colors.

A forecast is available for when leaves will change this year. The change begins in one part of the state in late September, then moves to another area in early October, and reaches a third area by late October.

Further details on the timing of the leaf change are available, including a specific timeline for different parts of the state in 2026.
