#FALLEN LEAF LAKE ELEVATION FREE#
Red, yellow, orange, and green leaves slowly float along the Youghiogheny River after being set free by a gentle breeze. Many trees are at their peak while a couple lag behind creating a breathtaking pallet.

This is a great weekend to see the fall colors in Garrett County. Higher elevations are slightly ahead of lower elevations, however I would expect peak for most of the county to occur in the next week to week and a half (around October 13-15). Many areas of the county are seeing the midpoint this week.

Your photo might be selected to appear in a future edition of the Fall Foliage Report! Please use the submission form to submit your entries directly to us. This year for the first time, we welcome all of Maryland’s outdoor enthusiasts to send in photos capturing the beauty of the fall season. Join us as we follow the transition each week with reports from our experts at our state forests and parks. The eastern portion of the state is still mainly green with a few hints of fall color this landscape remains perfect for pollinators, spending autumnal hours collecting nectar and pollen. Through central and southern Maryland, we have a mixed bag mainly because summer weather has been slow to depart.

In the far western portions of the state our reports are indicating we’re at the mid-point, especially in the higher elevations. Here we go folks, we’re seeing more color out west and the rest of the state is being blanketed in subtle yellows and reds.
