Where & When To See Fall Foliage In Pennsylvania

Autumn seems to go by so quickly, especially when our schedules are packed with fall fun. While many fall activities – pumpkin patches, corn mazes, and train rides – tend to run from late August or early September until Halloween, or even a bit after, the fall foliage is far more fleeting, so you probably want to plan your leaf-peeping activities ahead of time.

The peak of the fall foliage in Pennsylvania, depending on where you live, usually occurs mid-month with the state well past its most colorful by Halloween. View the Pennsylvania fall foliage map to learn, week by week, when the leaves are expected to change and to get a better idea of when your area will likely experience the peak fall foliage.

Viewing the vibrant colors of fall is often as easy as going into our backyard or our favorite neighborhood park. We also have 124 magnificent state parks that promise an idyllic fall adventure, winding roads for scenic country drives, and countless scenic overlooks.
