Find Out When The Leaves Will Change Color In Wisconsin With This Interactive Fall Foliage Map

Fall has officially begun, and we couldn’t be more excited! Part of what makes the season so great is the spectacular color showcase that comes along with it. Enjoying the vibrant seasonal display is far easier than it once was thanks in part to the Fall Foliage Prediction Map created by the website Smoky Mountains. With the interactive map, you can determine when foliage will be at its peak in your part of the state. Take a look:

Wisconsin is stunning year-round, but there’s no denying that it’s especially beautiful in the fall when drenched in the colors of the season.

With Smoky Mountains’ interactive map, you can easily determine the best time for leaf-peeping in various portions of the state.

According to the map, colors are expected to peak in the state’s northernmost region during the last week of September, while the rest of northern Wisconsin won’t see its peak until the first week of October.

Wondering where to view foliage in northern Wisconsin? Consider checking out Rib Mountain State Park, Mountain Park Lookout Tower, or Peninsula State Park – all of which offer exceptional views of seasonal hues.

Going by the map, the best time to view foliage in central Wisconsin is the first week of October.

When peeping leaves in central Wisconsin, you’ve got to pay a visit to Perrot State Park, which is where you’ll find one of the best Wisconsin views of the mighty Mississippi River Valley.

In southern Wisconsin, foliage is expected to peak in mid-October.

Lapham Peak is a great place for leaf-peeping in southern Wisconsin. Its 45-foot observation tower is the highest point in Waukesha County and provides a breathtaking 360-degree view of the surrounding foliage.

Parks and hiking trails aren’t the only options for viewing vibrant foliage in Wisconsin, though. Train rides, such as the one at Riverside and Great Northern Railway, offer a fun alternative.

Scenic drives are another leisurely way you can enjoy the awesome colors of autumn. The Great River Road and Highway 42 between Gills Rock and Northport are two popular fall routes.

Travel Wisconsin’s Fall Color Report is also available online and can be viewed here. For the most part, it coincides with Smoky Mountains’ predictions.
