PoconosOutdoors.com Fall Foliage Report – PEAK COLOR – October 2026 – Week 5

🍁 Week 5 October 2026 – October 29–November 4

Date: October 27, 2026, Location: White Haven, PA – Lehigh Gorge / Poconos Region

Status: End of Season – Pockets of Color, Bare Ridges, Quiet Trails

By the end of October and into early November, most of the Poconos has moved past peak, but there are still pockets of color in protected valleys, wetlands, and oak stands. DCNR’s reports usually classify this period as “late season” for Northeast PA.

What to Expect

• Bare ridges with remaining color in lowlands
• Strong oak and beech tones in sheltered areas
• Crisp air, quiet trails, and minimal crowds

Best Late‑Season Activities

• Hiking & photography in valley forests
• Cool‑weather biking on the Lehigh Gorge Trail
• End‑of‑season rafting on mild, scenic runs

This is the reflective, peaceful phase of foliage season—perfect for guests who love solitude, cool air, and the last glow of autumn before winter sets in. Book biking, disc golf, or assisted camping at PoconosOutdoors.com or call 570‑899‑0400.
