When to see peak color at Quarry Trails Metro Park

Peak fall color is predicted around October 27. Plan for the strongest viewing window from October 22 to November 1.

Predicted peak
October 27
Best window
October 22 – November 1
Confidence range
±5 days
Color season
September 30 – November 8

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 Columbus and across Ohio.

That is 3 days later than usual (October 24): the six weeks to October 18 ran 2.6°F warmer than the 2001–2025 average, and a warmer run before peak delays the color.

Fall color at Quarry Trails Metro Park begins as early as September 30 in some spots and continues through November 8 in others — a 39-day window where you can catch peak color somewhere in the area regardless of when you visit.
