Fall foliage in the Finger Lakes

Fall Foliage in the Finger Lakes

Fall Foliage in the Finger Lakes

All the rain earlier this summer is producing amazing fall foliage in the Finger Lakes Region. This weekend (week of Oct 14-20), the Finger Lakes region should see its first appearances of peak foliage.

Cayuga County
foliage spotters predict up to 90 percent color change in some areas by weekend, with bright gold, red and yellow leaves predominating. Estimations of color change submitted by observers range from 50-80 percent, with red and orange leaves are really starting to show on maples, sugar maples and oak trees. Russet-colored leaves are taking hold on White Ash trees, and trees such as the Poplars, Locusts, Hickories, Ginkgo and others are showing subdued yellow coloration. For more information, visit the Foliage Report.

It’s an amazing time of year! Come stay with us and enjoy the local Autumn festivities.

Fall is my favorite time of year in Skaneateles! The colors around the lake and neighboring lakes rival those in New England. Save yourself the gas. Apple and pumpkin picking is in full swing — my recipes this time of year feature our best local, organic fall produce. Don’t miss out on this great time of year around the Finger Lakes. Go wine tasting around our beautiful lakes and enjoy the fall colors during oktoberfest.
