DCNR released statewide fall foliage reports for week 3. Here is an overview.
Statewide Fall Foliage Overview
Recently colder temperatures have stimulated steady change in foliage throughout the Commonwealth. With cold to seasonable temperatures expected in the ten-day forecast, the fall color transition should follow a steady trend throughout Penn’s Woods. The best color can be currently found in the northern half of the Keystone State, but vibrant hues are making their way southward.
In Clearfield County
Moshannon State Forest staff reported best color in Clearfield County forests. Red/sugar maple, black gum, sassafras, sweet birch, and ferns are displaying full color. Oaks are showing some yellow and red, as well. Suggested drives to see the fall color in Centre County are State Beaver and Strawband Beaver roads.
In Clearfield County, suggested paved routes are Route 879 and the Quehanna Highway. State Forest Roads in Clearfield County with the best color are Caledonia Pike, Medix Grade, and Jack Dent roads. Rain and wind this weekend could cause many leaves to fall, so don’t wait to experience the fall scenery.
