When And Where To Expect Wisconsin's Fall Foliage To Peak This Year

The annual color show is about to arrive in Wisconsin and this year promises to be spectacular. From Antigo to Alma, Door County to Dorchester, trees will be bursting with color, beckoning road trippers, scenic hikers, and bikers who want to kick up some fallen leaves with their tires. So where to take in this kaleidoscope of fall color? This year it’s arriving a little later in some places. Don’t miss it – read on to see when and where fall color is arriving in Wisconsin.

Travel Wisconsin has a fall color map that’s ideal for chasing the best fall color. In real time, it tracks the status of colors and predicts the peak, using local reports from chambers of commerce and convention and visitor bureaus.

So where will the peak his first this year? According to the color tracker, if you drive to the far north, you can see the best colors the first week of October in places like Cable, Antigo, and St. Germain

If you want to see the best colors in other areas of the state you’ll have to wait a little longer. The peak is expected to hit Wausau, Door County, Marinette County, and Price County the second week of October. Climb the tower at Timm’s Hill to take in the highest view of the show!

Further south, the colors will arrive even later. Wisconsin Rapids, Sheboygan, Elkhart Lake, and Calumet County are all predicting a peak in the third week of October.

Little ghosts and goblins in southern Wisconsin can expect a colorful backdrop to their candy hunt. Madison, Lafayette, and Green Counties are predicting a peak in the final week of October.

While the Wisconsin Fall Color Report can help you find the best fall color, it’s ultimately the best guess of locals – at the end of the day, two trees next to each other may reach the peak at different times. Finding the best colors and the best days to experience the fall is part of the fun – enjoy the season!
