When to see peak color at Perrot State Park
Peak fall color is predicted around October 16. Plan for the strongest viewing window from October 11 to October 21.
Predicted peakOctober 16
Best windowOctober 11 – October 21
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 Trempealeau and across Wisconsin.
That is 2 days later than usual (October 14): the six weeks to October 6 ran 1.3°F warmer than the 2001–2025 average, and a warmer run before peak delays the color.
