When to see peak color at Miamisburg Mound
Peak fall color is predicted around October 27. Plan for the strongest viewing window from October 22 to November 1.

- Color season
- October 9 – November 5
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 Miamisburg and across Ohio.
That is 4 days later than usual (October 22): the six weeks to October 17 ran 3.3°F warmer than the 2001–2025 average, and a warmer run before peak delays the color.
Fall color at Miamisburg Mound begins as early as October 9 in some spots and continues through November 5 in others — a 27-day window where you can catch peak color somewhere in the area regardless of when you visit.
