When to see peak color at Double Trouble State Park

Peak fall color is predicted around October 18. Plan for the strongest viewing window from October 13 to October 23.

Predicted peakOctober 18
Best windowOctober 13 – October 23
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 Lacey Township and across New Jersey.

That is 2 days later than usual (October 17): the six weeks to October 9 ran 1.2°F warmer than the 2001–2025 average, and a warmer run before peak delays the color.
