With the peak of the fall color changing upon us, the question is not when, but where to see the beautiful autumn foliage.  While the season generally runs from late September through the end of October, the exact timing varies depending on one’s location within Door County. Currently, three of the state's 72 counties are at peak colors, while over 20 counties, including Door, are at 30 to 50 percent peak.

Through over 90 volunteers, Destination Door County's Jon Jarosh states they post an Interactive Fall Report on their website, allowing residents and visitors alike to pinpoint their optimal viewing site. 

Often, the fall colors dazzle and fade quickly.  Fortunately, Door County has one of the longest color change seasons in the state, thanks to its unique location.  Door County experiences a “rolling peak” every year, meaning different areas will have varying colors at other times.  Fall color begins in the Northern portion of the county and makes its way south.
