PEAK FOLIAGE ARRIVING IN MULTIPLE REGIONS ACROSS NEW YORK STATE
First Peak Colors Appearing in Capital-Saratoga, Central New York, Hudson Valley and Greater Niagara Regions
This is the sixth 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.
Peak foliage for the 2025 season is expected to make its first significant appearance this weekend in the Hudson Valley, Central New York, Capital-Saratoga and Greater Niagara regions, in addition to continuing through the Finger Lakes, Thousand Islands-Seaway, Catskills and Chautauqua-Allegheny regions. 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 foliage will include Ticonderoga in the Adirondacks; Voorheesville, Rotterdam and East Nassau in the Capital-Saratoga region; Forestburgh, East Durham and Round Top in the Catskills; Norwich, Herkimer, Middleburgh and Cazenovia in Central New York; Chautauqua in the Chautauqua-Allegheny region; Elmira, Moravia, Marathon, Waterloo and Trumansburg in the Finger Lakes; Batavia, East Aurora and Castile in the Greater Niagara region; Valatie, Cornwall, New Paltz and Highland in the Hudson Valley; and Alexandria Bay and Williamstown in the Thousand Islands-Seaway region.
