During Poconos Fall foliage season, or leaf peeping season as some like to call it, is the perfect time to see the leaves change colors to vibrant reds, oranges and yellow. Besides being an exciting time to enjoy nature, it also sparks the beginning of lots of family friendly activities including festivals, pumpkin picking, hayrides, scenic drives, and hiking.
Leaf Peeping Season
Leaf peeping season in the Poconos changes slightly each year due to weather and the amount of rainfall. Generally, it runs from mid-September through the end of October, just in time for Halloween fun. The Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau monitors the season. They publish the Poconos Fall Foliage Forecast, which shows when and where it’s peak leaf peeping season in the region. The report is updated every Thursday and is posted on their website.
