These fall foliage spotters are instructed on how to rate foliage color in their areas, citing conditions such as brilliance, percentage of leaves changed, predominating colors and stages (just beginning, near peak, peak and past peak).

For the coming weekend, look for brilliant peak foliage in the Franklin County communities of Mt. Arab and Tupper Lake. Leaf change is complete, highlighted by an array of bright shades including mustard, goldenrod, lemon, peach, rust, pumpkin, rhubarb, cranberry and crimson. Falling leaves are giving the hint that the peak is starting to wane, however, so it is best to head up to this beautiful area as soon as possible. You will find peak to just past peak foliage in Lake Placid, where leaf change is also just about complete and gold leaves are out in force, especially in Wilmington. Look for the most brilliant colors in the lower elevations. In the Warren County town of North Creek, peak foliage this weekend will be highlighted by bright shades of red, yellow and orange. In Hamilton County, Lake Pleasant projects 100 percent foliage change by the weekend, with average to brilliant brown and yellow leaves predominating the tree line. Greens are fading away with reds and purples coming to full color. Whiteface Mountain is expected to be just past peak this weekend, with 100 percent color change and slightly less than average brilliance highlighted by orange, gold and yellow leaves. Warren County’s Lake George is projecting peak foliage for the weekend, with 75 percent color change and red, yellow and orange leaves of average brilliance. Old Forge, in Herkimer County, will be near peak foliage, with 90-100 percent color change and orange, yellow and red leaves interspersed among the evergreens. In the lower elevations of Essex County, the Lake Champlain area will be around mid-point of transition with 50 percent color change and occasional sparks of colorful leaves of average brilliance, including yellow and orange.
