It’s over for peak fall foliage throughout most of the state. There are still peak colors in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island, offering one last opportunity to enjoy optimal colors this year, I LOVE NY said today in its final weekly update about fall foliage conditions.

In the Greater Niagara region, nearly all the leaves have changed colors with significant droppage, I LOVE NY stated.

This map released today from I LOVE NY shows most of the state has moved past peak fall foliage.
