When to see peak color at Arcadia Lake
Peak fall color is predicted around November 4. Plan for the strongest viewing window from October 30 to November 9.
- Predicted peak
- November 4
- Best window
- October 30 – November 9
- 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 Edmond and across Oklahoma.
That is 5 days later than usual (October 30): the six weeks to October 24 ran 6.6°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.
