It’s not too early to plan a special leaf-spotting adventure! To see breathtaking foliage this autumn, you’ll want to time your trip just right. While there are average times for color change, it depends on several variables like temperature and rainfall. Trees at higher elevations turn color before ones at lower elevations. Leaves change first along the water like lakes, ponds, and rivers.Each year the timing is a little different, but the average New Jersey peak fall color is October 19 through 29.
