I have been asked by a lot of people to research when Fall colors peak here in Iowa. We all know that Fall is a beautiful time here in Iowa, so I listened to them and I found exactly what they were looking for. I found it on the Iowa DNR website, and now I will share it with you all. I hope you enjoy!!
Fall is often one of the best times in Iowa. Warm days and cool nights, low humidity, no bugs to bother you and the brilliant Autumn colors of our trees.
Every year thousands of Iowans and visitors alike flock to the countryside to view nature’s colorful display of red, orange, yellow and purple leaves.
When do the Colors Peak?
Peak fall color occurs in Northeast Iowa, on the average, on the weekend closest to October 10th. Peak fall color occurs later in the more southern parts of the state, however, as explained above, it all depends. Perhaps the most important thing about fall color is having the time to enjoy it.

I love this time of year – unfortunately, it’s been strange this year and if things don’t change soon, it looks like we might go straight from green trees, to no leaves. We had an early frost this year, so I don’t know if that has anything to with it or what.
