When to see peak color at Washington Crossing Historic Park

Peak fall color is predicted around October 25. Plan for the strongest viewing window from October 20 to October 30.

Predicted peakOctober 25
Best windowOctober 20 – October 30
Confidence range±5 days

The prediction comes from 24 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 Solebury Township and across Pennsylvania.

This year's weather here has run close to normal, so the date is the usual October 25. This will settle about ten days before peak, as the weather comes in.
