PoconosOutdoors.com Fall Foliage Report – PEAK COLOR – October 2026 – Week 4

🍂 Week 4 October 2026 – October 22–28

Date: October 20, 2026, Location: White Haven, PA – Lehigh Gorge / Poconos Region

Status: Late Season Color – Golds, Bronzes, and Oak Dominance

Late October brings oak‑driven color—deep golds, bronzes, and russet tones—especially in southern and central Poconos. While many maples and birches have dropped, the forest still holds a rich, warm palette.

Color Levels

• Northern Poconos: 40–60% color, significant leaf drop
• Central Poconos / Lehigh Gorge: 50–70% color, late‑season tones
• Southern Poconos / Jim Thorpe / Lehighton: 90–100% PEAK COLOR, beautiful time of year

Late‑Season Highlights

• Mellow rail‑trail rides with crunchy leaves under tires
• Cool‑weather rafting and kayaking
• Assisted Camping with campfires and clear night skies

Crowds thin out, but the experience stays premium—this is a great time for guests who prefer quieter trails and cooler temps. Book biking, disc golf, or assisted camping at PoconosOutdoors.com or call 570‑899‑0400.
