Autumn adventures await now that fall is finally here, and the\u00a0Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR)\u00a0has the perfect tool to help plan a fall foliage viewing experience. The\u00a0weekly fall foliage report<\/a>\u00a0will resume October 1, featuring regional updates, photos, and expert tips to help people experience the Commonwealth\u2019s vibrant seasonal landscapes.<\/p>\n

Posted every Thursday during peak foliage season on DCNR\u2019s\u00a0website<\/a>, the report will resume with dedicated pages for each week, including pictures and detailed information by region. Visitors can also explore Pennsylvania\u2019s fall offerings through\u00a0Pennsylvania: The Great American Getaway<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 a statewide campaign highlighting public lands, scenic drives, festivals, pick-your-own farms, and family-friendly autumn activities. Fall foliage typically peaks in October, and DCNR\u2019s weekly reports will feature updated photos and tips on the best places to see the colors.<\/p>\n

\u201cFall is a great time to get outdoors and enjoy the natural beauty of Pennsylvania\u2019s 125 state parks and explore our 2.2 million acres of state forestland,\u201d said\u00a0DCNR Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn. \u201cWhether you\u2019re hiking, camping, or taking a scenic drive, DCNR\u2019s weekly fall foliage report is a great tool for planning trips and discovering new seasonal activities across the Commonwealth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fall is a major driver of Pennsylvania\u2019s tourism industry, which\u00a0generated<\/a>\u00a0$83.9 billion\u00a0in economic impact, supported more than\u00a0514,000 jobs, and welcomed\u00a0201.6 million\u00a0visitors in 2024, according to a Pennsylvania Tourism Office\u00a0report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cFall in Pennsylvania is something you have to experience,\u201d said\u00a0Anne Ryan, Deputy Secretary for Tourism at DCED. \u201cOur mountains and small towns come alive with color, the air gets a little crisper, and there\u2019s a sense of nostalgia that makes you want to slow down and enjoy it. Whether it\u2019s a scenic drive or train ride, a hike through peak foliage, a stop at a local farm or simply an afternoon exploring a Main Street, fall gives visitors a chance to experience Pennsylvania at its very best. It\u2019s beautiful, it\u2019s welcoming, and it\u2019s the perfect season to get out and take a trip.\u201d<\/p>\n

Visitors can again enjoy the\u00a0Skywalk at\u00a0Kinzua Bridge State Park<\/a>\u00a0in the Pennsylvania Wilds, which\u00a0recently reopened<\/a>\u00a0for fall foliage viewing. Kinzua Bridge is one of the most popular fall foliage viewing locations in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n
