NEW YORK STATE’S FALL FOLIAGE SEASON DRAWING TO A CLOSE AS PEAK COLORS REACH NEW YORK CITY

Last Chance to Enjoy Peak and Past Peak Hues in the Lower Hudson Valley and on Long Island

View Reports Below

 

This is the ninth and final 2025 I LOVE NY Fall Foliage Report for New York State. Reports are obtained from more than 90 volunteer field observers and reflect expected color conditions for the coming weekend. Reports are issued every Wednesday afternoon. I LOVE NY defines "peak" as the best overall appearance the foliage will have during the season, taking into account color transition, brilliance, and leaf droppage.

New York’s 2025 fall foliage season winds down this weekend with peak foliage reaching New York City, its final destination in the state. Much of Long Island and the Hudson Valley will be past peak but some locations will offer one last opportunity to enjoy optimal colors. This is according to the field reports from volunteer observers for the Empire State Development Division of Tourism’s I LOVE NY program.

Locations with peak and past peak foliage will include White Plains and Cold Spring in the Hudson Valley; Shelter Island, East Meadow, Farmingdale, Oyster Bay, and Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island; and The Bronx, Manhattan and Queens in New York City.
