PEAK FOLIAGE ARRIVING THROUGHOUT MANY PARTS OF THE FINGER LAKES AND HUDSON VALLEY
Peak Seasonal Colors Also Appearing on Long Island
This is the seventh 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.
Spectacular peak foliage is expected to arrive this weekend throughout many parts of the Finger Lakes as well as the central and lower portions of the Hudson Valley and several locations on Long Island. Additionally, peak fall colors are making their final appearances in the Thousand Islands-Seaway, Greater Niagara and Central New York regions, while New York City is at midpoint of change. 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 the most significant changes include Binghamton (Central New York); Elmira, Greece, Farmington and Seneca Falls (Finger Lakes); Buffalo, Niagara Falls and Lewiston (Greater Niagara); Oswego (Thousand Islands-Seaway); Beacon, Cornwall-on-Hudson, Cold Spring, Orangeburg, Pomona and Bear Mountain (Hudson Valley); and Wantagh, Manhasset, Roslyn, Cold Spring Harbor, West Hempstead and West Babylon (Long Island).
