Fall Foliage: Now is the Time to Experience Wisconsin's Colors

LeafQuest presents viewing options not only in Wisconsin, but throughout the country.

Saturday's early forecast calls for delightful autumn weather, so it could be the very best, last chance to experience the kaleidoscope of colors displayed by the changing leaves in Wisconsin.

The interactive map above provides just three of the many locations to take in the palette of oranges, reds, browns and greens. It's part of LeafQuest, showcasing scenic locations throughout the lower 48.

For more detail on the best Wisconsin locations, TravelWisconsin.com provides an updated, county-by-county look at the progress of fall color. A report in JSOnline.com this week says colors are peaking at the normal pace, which for most of the state means right now.
