White Mountains Fall Foliage Report as of 10/6/25
Your Real-Time Guide to Fall – See what percentage each region is at down below
Great North Woods - While a drive to visit our neighbors in the most northern points of the state is always worth the trip, please note that at this time the Great North Woods has past peak. Past Peak
Franconia Notch and North of the Notch - We are still seeing yellow leaves that are quite beautiful when the sun hits them just right. Reminder: even when an area is past peak it doesn't mean the leaves just shrivel up and fall off. There is still color to be found. Hit the trails to see the leaves up close at spots like Kilburn Crags in Littleton or at the Forest Society North at the Rocks in Bethlehem. 100%-Past Peak
Western White Mountains - The foliage change varies depending on what area of the Western White Mountains you travel to. Some trees have either hit peak or are just past, especially in areas around Plymouth, Lincoln, and points west such as up near Lost River Gorge in Kinsman Notch. The Kancamagus Highway still has some hot spots, especially the further east you travel along the highway. A walk around Waterville Valley would be nice or checking out the Smarts Brook trail system in Thornton. 100%-Past Peak
Mount Washington Valley- We are keeping a close eye on colors over in the Mount Washington Valley, especially in towns such as North Conway, Jackson, Madison, and Bartlett. Now would be a great time to check out the Return of the Pumpkin People or take a scenic chairlift ride at Cranmore Mountain Resort. 95%
