Fall Color Report Sep 24-Oct1

It’s that time of year again! It’s time for the first Devil’s Lake State Park / Baraboo Hills Fall Color Report. Let’s Jump in!

At A Glance!

It’s pretty green out there right now, but you will find a few bright and colorful trees, especially around roads, parking lots, picnic areas, and campgrounds. More sun equals more color.

If this is your only weekend to come, you can probably find a tree for that fall family photo…

Peak?

Peak color around the Baraboo Hills comes sometime in Mid-October. Each year is slightly different, but if you’re throwing a dart for peak weekend, odds are going to be around the OCT 16th or 24… GIVE OR TAKE A WEEK…

So all around the area, there are some amazingly bright and colorful trees, probably due to the drier weather we’ve had this summer. But again, colors are sporadically limited to trees in sunnier locations or stressed areas such as parking lots, picnic areas, and roadways. But we’re certainly early in the season. Below are a few photos taken the last couple of days at Devil’s Lake State Park. We have more information, recommendations, and other resources on our Fall Color Page here.

Wrap

I’ll be back next week with my next report. Next weekend, there will certainly be more color, so we’ll look a bit more at THE locations and trails you’ll want to visit to see the best colors at that time. See you then!
