Orleans County and the GLOW Region are either very close to peak fall foliage or at peak color change, according to the I LOVE NY Fall Foliage Report.

Every Wednesday the state puts out a foliage report. Many parts of the state are past peak, but the GLOW region is at peak foliage for color transition, brilliance, and leaf droppage.

“Gorgeous peak foliage will be arriving throughout much of the Thousand Islands-Seaway, Greater Niagara, Finger Lakes and Hudson Valley regions this weekend, while near-peak colors will be found throughout much of Long Island, and New York City will mostly see a mix of early to midpoint change,” the report states.

In Orleans County, a field observer reports there is 50% change in Albion with bright autumn shades.

The Adirondacks, Central New York, Catskills and Chautauqua-Allegheny regions are transitioning to past peak foliage.
