While the leaves haven't quite started changing colors all over yet, fall is already in the air in Connecticut. When September rolls around, the air always starts feeling a bit crisper. The school buses start making their rounds around the neighborhood again. Rather than heading down to the beach on the weekends, soon we'll be picking apples and pumpkins. Of course, we'll really know it's autumn in New England when the vibrant fall colors arrive! The big question is when we can expect to see peak fall foliage in Connecticut.
Each year, Smoky Mountains creates the Fall Foliage Prediction Map to predict when and where to view Connecticut peak foliage.
You can also use the map to check out the peak fall foliage times for the rest of the U.S.
According to this year's prediction, peak Connecticut fall foliage will occur the week of October 10.
While no prediction tool is 100 percent accurate, the days surrounding the 10th will likely be the best days to see Connecticut fall foliage.
Now is the time to begin planning outdoor activities like hikes, riverboat cruises, and picnics to drink in autumn's best views.
We're blessed to live in a state that experiences each of the seasons in incredibly beautiful depth.
The least we can do is take time to appreciate the nature that surrounds us!
Now that you know when to see fall foliage in Connecticut, how will you enjoy autumn? Is there one thing you do every year to enjoy peak foliage? Tell us about it in the comments!
