When to see peak color at Ohiopyle State Park
Peak fall color is predicted around October 20. Plan for the strongest viewing window from October 15 to October 25.
Predicted peakOctober 20
Best windowOctober 15 – October 25
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 Stewart Township and across Pennsylvania.
That is 2 days later than usual (October 17): the six weeks to October 10 ran 1.8°F warmer than the 2001–2025 average, and a warmer run before peak delays the color.
