When to see peak color at Cave Point County Park
Peak fall color is predicted around October 15. Plan for the strongest viewing window from October 10 to October 20.
Predicted peakOctober 15
Best windowOctober 10 – October 20
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 Town of Sevastopol and across Wisconsin.
That is 2 days later than usual (October 13): the six weeks to October 5 ran 1.7°F warmer than the 2001–2025 average, and a warmer run before peak delays the color.
