No need for guesswork. Here’s your guide to fall foliage in Dauphin County, PA!

Based on previous years, you can expect peak fall color around the end of October — which is the perfect time to plan a trip full of leaf-peeping, late night campfire chats, and other seasonal (& spooky) activities. 🍂👻

Pro tip: Upper Dauphin County will reach peak color earlier than the rest of the region, so plan accordingly!
