Peak fall foliage is spreading across Connecticut

Fall color arrives

Colorful peak fall foliage is spreading across Connecticut as autumn advances. The changing leaves are creating opportunities for residents and visitors to see fall color around the state.

When to go

The best time to view the leaves depends on where someone plans to go. Foliage does not reach peak color everywhere at the same time, so travelers should check conditions for their intended destination before setting out.

Planning a visit

People looking for fall color can use current local foliage conditions to choose when to visit. The changing season offers a short window for viewing leaves at their brightest.

What remains local

The pace of the change can differ from one Connecticut location to another. A trip planned around a specific town, park or scenic route should take local conditions into account rather than rely on a statewide timetable.
