I LOVE NY started the “New York Fall Foliage Report (opens in a new tab) ” on September 11 and will continue until the end of the foliage season, around the first or second week in November. Montgomery County has started its own annual report this year as well.
Reporting station: Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site (opens in a new tab) , Fort Hunter
Percent of trees predicted to have changed by the coming weekend: 40%
Brilliance: Average
Predominating colors: Oranges and yellows emerge with some reds still holding strong
Rating: Nearing midpoint – with the cold of October coming in, expect peak to move in quickly
More color is emerging and the midpoint of the season is approaching. As the weather becomes more fall-like peak season will be here soon.
The weekend is full of activities across the county. The Ames Museum (opens in a new tab) will be open on Saturday. On the National Registry of Historic Places, the museum collection encompasses life in the smallest incorporated village of New York State along with the surrounding areas and local businesses.
