US · Published Sep 22, 2026
New York State has officially kicked off its 2026 fall foliage season with the release of its first weekly foliage report.
Early signs of autumn colors, including hints of orange, yellow, and red, are emerging across the state.

Impact & Risks

The Adirondacks are expected to see the most vibrant and early fall foliage, making it a prime destination for leaf-peeping enthusiasts this weekend. However, the wet summer could lead to variability in the timing and intensity of the colors, with some areas potentially experiencing muted hues or premature leaf drop. Visitors should plan their trips accordingly to catch the peak colors, as weather conditions like warm nights and overcast days may also affect the vibrancy of the foliage.
