You still have plenty of time to schedule your trip to Door County to take a look at the beautiful fall colors. Travel Wisconsin has activated its fall color report page on its website, giving updates on the changing leaves across several of the state’s counties and prime leaf peeping spots. Most of the state, including Door and Kewaunee counties, is in the second to third week of October as a prediction for when the fall colors are expected to really pop. That puts it in line with Door County’s two major autumn festivals: Egg Harbor Pumpkin Fest and Sister Bay Fall Fest. Despite the promise of fall and the common sight of green all around, Jen Rogers from Destination Door County says that is not stopping people from calling or stopping by to ask if they can already see the leaves turning bright shades of red, orange, and yellow.

As of Monday, Ashland, Birchwood, Conover, Eagle River, Florence County, Forest County, Hayward, Madeline Island, Langlade County, Merrill, Nicolet Wolf River Scenic Byway, Phelps, Clark County, and Stevens Point are all above 10 percent peak colors according to the site. October is a big month for tourism in Door County, outpacing most of the months during the course of the year when it comes to occupancy rates and room tax revenue.

Rogers added that lots of lodging partners have also stepped up to help visitors who were supposed to stay at Rowley's Bay Resort during the fall months. Rowleys Bay had close to 60 rooms available to guests before it suffered a major fire last week, closing the businesses for the foreseeable future. Destination Door County staff are available to help visitors find alternate lodging for their upcoming stay in the area if they are affected.
