PEAK FALL COLORS ARRIVING IN NEW YORK CITY AS STATE’S FOLIAGE SEASON WINDS DOWN
Optimal Hues Also Appearing in the Lower Hudson Valley and Across Long Island
This is the eighth and final 2026 I LOVE NY Fall Foliage Report for New York State. Reports are obtained from more than 100 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 2026 fall foliage season winds down this weekend with peak foliage beginning to reach New York City, its final destination in the state, according to the field reports from volunteer observers for the Empire State Development Division of Tourism’s I LOVE NY program. Most of Long Island and some locations in the lower Hudson Valley will also be at peak. During the week of November 11-17, peak foliage is expected to reach Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island, offering one last opportunity to enjoy optimal colors this year.
Locations with the most significant foliage changes include White Plains, Jefferson Valley and Cold Spring (Hudson Valley); Shelter Island, Valley Stream, West Hempstead and Cold Spring Harbor (Long Island); and The Bronx (New York City).
