DCNR Issues 2nd Weekly Fall Foliage Report - 4 Counties At Peak Of Color

On October 6, the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources issued its second Weekly Fall Foliage Report showing four counties are already at their peak of color-- McKean, Potter, Susquehanna and Wayne counties.

Signs of fall abound in Penn’s Woods, but a few northern tier counties will enter peak color this week, stealing the show. 

Spotty but vibrant color can be found from the Alleghenies to the Pocono Plateau. 

Consistently cool to seasonable temperatures with some rather cold nights this weekend should accelerate leaf change throughout the Commonwealth.
