Ohio Fall Color Reports

From my experience, the peak leaf color for northwest Ohio will occur during the last three weeks of October. It depends upon the late summer and early fall weather, which can impact timing and color vibrancy. And it depends upon the types of hardwoods. Oak trees peak much later, like at the end of October and early November.

I would pick October 16 or October 23 for the best chances for comfortable temps, leaf color, and the general overall feeling of fall in northwest Ohio.

I would choose October 9 over October 30 if those were your options.
