Peak fall foliage in the Pocono Mountains typically runs from late September through mid-October, with the most vibrant color appearing in the first two weeks of October. Higher elevations like Big Pocono State Park hit peak color a week or two before the valleys. Check the Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau for real-time foliage reports.
Best Spots to See Fall Foliage in the Poconos
The most spectacular foliage viewing is found at Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, where the gorge turns into a sea of color. Other top spots include the drive up to Dingmans Falls, the streets of charming Jim Thorpe, and Bushkill Falls — the foliage reflected in the waterfall pools is unforgettable.
Fall Activities Beyond Foliage
Fall in the Poconos is about more than leaf-peeping. Apple orchards and farm markets come alive in September and October. Craft breweries like Pocono Brewing Company offer seasonal ales perfect for autumn evenings. And with the summer crowds gone, hiking trails are quieter and more peaceful than ever.
Spend the Evenings at the Property
After a day of foliage drives and hiking, there is nothing better than gathering around an outdoor fire pit, soaking in the hot tub under a canopy of fall stars, and waking up to misty forest mornings. Our properties are built for exactly this kind of autumn magic. Book your fall foliage weekend before peak dates sell out.
