Fall Color Report
The fall color report is updated every Wednesday throughout the fall color season.
There’s a reason USA TODAY readers have repeatedly named the U.P. the No. 1 Best Destination for Fall Colors. With forests stretching across more than 85% of the peninsula, there’s plenty of color to see, and space to find your own favorite view--whether it’s a panoramic overlook, a waterfall framed by changing leaves, a quiet riverbank or a stretch of Great Lakes shoreline.
Weather can speed up or slow down the season, so check back often for the latest conditions. Explore the regional reports below to see where colors are changing, what’s nearing peak and where to go next.
Stages of Fall Color
Fall is a spectacular time to explore the Upper Peninsula, as forests burst into shades of red, orange and gold. Color typically begins in mid to late September, peaks during the first three weeks of October and moves from the western and interior U.P. toward the east and Great Lakes shorelines.
