Dec. 5, 2024

This is our last update of the 2024 season! The leaves have peaked and are now falling off the trees at a rapid pace. Thunderstorms in the forecast for this weekend will probably take down the rest of the leaves.

Nov. 28, 2024

We are at the peak of the season with the trees showing off lots of color! Make sure you continue to make those reservations even into December to guarantee entry into the park.

Nov. 22, 2024

With the cold front early this week, the trees have begun their color change finally! We should hit peak color for this year around Thanksgiving.

Nov. 15, 2024

A few more trees have started to change but most trees are still green. We've had a few chilly nights last night and the night before and a good cold front should come in Tuesday to start the change in earnest.

Nov. 9, 2024

Not a lot of change in the foliage from last week's report, but we'll see what the much-needed rain and cooler weather does for the trees. Some trees scattered throughout the park look like they have patches of color that are starting to show, but we're still waiting for some good cold nights for the majority of the trees.

Nov. 1, 2024

Most trees are still green but we have a handful that are starting their change. The colors will show brightly for a day or two before turning brown in small patches. Still waiting for the rest of the trees to start changing.

Oct. 25, 2024

We are starting to see some trees begin their color change but more are still full green than anything else.

Oct 18, 2024

The park recently got a nice cold front and it is starting to actually feel like fall! This cold front was probably not strong enough to start the color change, however, we are starting to see a few outlying branches on maples turn.

Oct. 11, 2024

Still no color change for most of the trees. We are waiting patiently for the first cold front to arrive and for fall!

Oct. 4, 2024

First update of the season! No color change has started for most of the trees. The sycamores have started changing and many are going quickly from yellow to brown.
