When to see peak color at Oregon Ridge Park

Peak fall color is predicted around October 29. Plan for the strongest viewing window from October 24 to November 3.

Predicted peakOctober 29
Best windowOctober 24 – November 3
Confidence range±5 days

The prediction comes from 24 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 Cockeysville and across Maryland.

That is 1 day later than usual (October 28): the six weeks to October 13 ran 1.0°F warmer than the 2001–2025 average, and a warmer run before peak delays the color. This will settle about ten days before peak, as the weather comes in.
