Although most color is fading in the northern third of the Commonwealth, an abundance of vivid foliage awaits sightseers in the middle and southern Appalachians, southern Alleghenies, and southeastern forests.
With oak forests peaking in the northern tier, this could be the final week for widespread color throughout Penn’s Woods.
The report also includes fall foliage information for six regions around the state.
Weekly Fall Foliage Reports will be issued on Thursdays at DCNR’s PA Fall Foliage Reports webpage.
