When to see peak color at John James Audubon State Park
Peak fall color is predicted around October 31. Plan for the strongest viewing window from October 26 to November 5.
- Predicted peak
- October 31
- Best window

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 Henderson County and across Kentucky.
