• The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) has released its fall foliage report for October 15-21, highlighting vibrant autumn colors across Pennsylvania.
• In the Central and Southcentral regions, forestry staff report significant color changes, with red maples, black gums, birches, and hickories showcasing bright reds, yellows, and oranges.

Impact & Risks

The fall foliage season is a prime time for outdoor activities, attracting visitors to Pennsylvania's state forests and parks. While the vibrant colors provide stunning views, recent rain may lead to slippery roads and trails due to fallen leaves. Additionally, some areas are expected to lose their peak colors quickly, especially in regions like Gallitzin State Forest. Visitors should plan their trips soon to experience the best of the autumn scenery before it fades.
