View across Pine Lake from Southern Adirondack Pines Campground & Cabins on September 15
I LOVE NY started the “New York Fall Foliage Report” on September 10 and will continue until the end of the foliage season, around the first or second week in November. Fulton County has its own “foliage spotters” to participate in this annual report.
Reporting station: Southern Adirondack Pines Campground & Cabins, Pine Lake (Adirondack Park) and Gloversville
Percent of trees predicted to have changed by the coming weekend: 30% in higher elevations and 15% lower elevations
Brilliance: Dull-Average
Predominating colors: Greenish-Yellow, Rusty Red with touches of Orange and Brighter Red
Rating: Beginning to Midpoint in some locations
While this morning is gloomy, the autumn colors are starting to appear at a faster pace than the previous week. The recent crisp mornings are a reminder of the many fall events happening and the Adirondacks are a great place to see the foliage change.
Many trees are changing from green to yellow. Some have a brownish red peeking through and hints of orange and brighter red are starting to appear. At this point, very few have deep vibrant colors. Within the next two weeks, we should see a brilliance of color and reach peak leaf peeping.
The mountain views showcase a progressive timeline in the change of colors. The higher elevations tend to change slightly earlier. If enjoying scenic rides through Fulton County, expect to visit the higher elevations a few days earlier than lower elevations.
