New & Improved Fall Color Maps

📢The Fall Color Finder map is live 🍂

The Fall Color Finder map is your ultimate guide to tracking vibrant hues across the state. The slow changes from green to orange or red are tracked by knowledgeable and dedicated parks staff who are on the ground every day, watching the magic unfold. Each park or recreation area submits an updated report every Wednesday so the latest map can be posted Thursday mornings to help you plan your weekend adventures 🗺 It's almost like having a personal fall color expert right in your back pocket! 🙌🍁

🆕 New this year: the Fall Color Finder map will now feature a slider function on our website, allowing you to move backwards or forwards to compare how the map looked in past years. The slider uses map data from previous seasons to predict potential color changes, making it even easier to plan your adventures!

The next time you see a staff member out on your adventure, give them an extra smile, wave or a simple "thanks"—they make our beloved Fall Color Finder map what it is ❤️🧡💛💚

which means it's also the first since she was born. 🤯
