When to see peak color at Iroquois Park
Peak fall color is predicted around November 2. Plan for the strongest viewing window from October 28 to November 7.
- Predicted peak
- November 2
- Best window
- October 28 – November 7
- Confidence range
- ±5 days
The prediction comes from 14 years of fall color records at this spot, checked against what observers on the ground saw. Where state foliage spotters report peak (New York, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Missouri), it has landed inside our ±5-day window about two years in three. An unusual summer or autumn can still move it further. Explore fall color around Louisville and across Kentucky.
That is 4 days later than usual (October 29): the six weeks to October 23 ran 3.0°F warmer than the 2001–2025 average, and a warmer run before peak delays the color.
