The fall foliage spectacle has moved past its peak in Orleans County and throughout most of the state, according to the weekly I LOVE NY Fall Foliage Report.
“New York’s colorful fall foliage season winds down this weekend as autumn’s peak colors reach their final destinations in New York City and on Long Island, as well as in a few remaining parts of the Finger Lakes and Hudson Valley, according to the report issued on Wednesday afternoon.
The report states Erie and Genesee counties are about 85 to 95 percent color change, with many bare trees, according to volunteer spotters.
There are still lots of colorful leaves on the trees locally, but the leaves are dropping fast.
This is the eighth and final map of the 2023 I LOVE NY Fall Foliage Report for New York State. Reports were issued every Wednesday afternoon.
