If you couldn't make it to Vermont this fall, you can still find some gorgeous fall scenery in our Autumn Photo Gallery, thanks to local photographers and visitors to Vermont. But truly, you've got to be here to fully enjoy the leaves. And remember, it's never too early to plan your next fall vacation!
The "Current Conditions" map provides an approximate view of the current foliage color in Vermont, based on the reports we receive.
Foliage color generally starts to change in the higher, cooler areas of the Green Mountains, spreading down into the Lake Champlain Valley and Connecticut River Valley, and moving from north to south across the state. The exact timing of the color change varies from year to year.

A great place to stop while you're Leaf Peeping in Southern Vermont, is the Dutton Berry Farm Stands. Well known for their Vermont grown produce including farmer-grown fruits and vegetables, cider, maple syrup, plants, and other unique local products, the Dutton Berry Farmstands offer a cornucopia of great-tasting Vermont produce and products. Located on Route 11/30 in Manchester, Route 30 in Newfane, and Route 9 in West Brattleboro.
'We are completing one of the longest-running foliage seasons in recent memory,' says Forests, Parks, and Recreation Commissioner Michael Snyder. 'Excellent conditions persisted throughout, from just the right amount of precipitation to seasonal temperatures with crisp nights and sunny days that ushered our forests from a strong summer growing season into an especially extensive and vibrant display of fall color.'
We hope you will continue ... to stay up to date on all things Vermont. This report will return next fall when the leaves begin to turn.
Enjoy the coming holidays and see you soon in the Green Mountain State!"
