OctoWide-spread frost is encouraging the Aspen (poplar) fall colour to peak soon. Algonquin Park's Sugar Maple understory and Poplar fall colour continues to improve. OctoAfter a long period of calm weather, rain and wind has increased leaf fall in the Sugar Maple canopy. Peak Sugar Maple colour at the landscape level in the western portion of the Highway 60 Corridor was reached on October 5, 2022, about one week later than average ( see below). Temperature dipping to -6☌ on Octoencouraged the maple understory and poplar (aspen) to increase their fall colour change. October 2 to 6, 2022 - Light winds, associated with a high pressure system, allowed maple leaves to remain on the trees and show their impressive orange-red colour to Park visitors. SeptemCold overnight temperatures with frost, shortening day light length, and light winds (that reduces leaf fall) are combining to offer the best maple viewing at the landscape level. SeptemOvercast conditions make for great viewing of Algonquin Park's increasing fall colour. September 23 & 24, 2022 - Two nights of below freezing temperatures (dropping to -2☌ overnight at the Park's East Gate on September 24, 2022) will further advance fall colour change in Algonquin Park in the days ahead. These drought stressed trees started showing colour change in early September with some reaching their peak colour by mid-September.
SeptemHeavy rain and strong wind has increased leaf fall of early changing species such as Red Maples. This below freezing temperature will further encourage trees to change colour in preparation for winter. SeptemThe temperature drops to -1☌ overnight at the Park's East Gate. Later changing poplar and Tamarack are showing minimal colour change. Sugar Maple dominated areas are showing a greenish-yellow colour at the current time, but the best is yet to come. Some Red Maples growing in normally wet areas, are already showing their peak colour. SeptemShortening daylight length and cooler temperatures, and drought induced stress, have encouraged Red Maples, to intensify their fall colour change. Slight fall colour change is noted in the deciduous trees in Algonquin Park. SeptemThe temperature recorded at the East Gate of Algonquin Park dropped to 3☌ overnight. Please check back throughout fall for updates as conditions warrant.

High winds, rain, or even snow can sometimes quickly result in fragile leaves being knocked off the trees increasing what is called leaf fall. Keep watching this webpage for updates and the latest images as conditions warrant.įor live video see the Algonquin Park Webcam or The Friends of Algonquin Park's Facebook page for additional images.įall colour is subject to numerous environmental variables such as daylight length, moisture, temperature, frost, wind, heavy rain, etc., so the exact peak fall colour for each species is difficult to determine in advance. Search for Tamaracks, showing their yellow/golden-yellow colour, in wetlands and bogs including the Spruce Bog Boardwalk, the Mizzy Lake Trail, or along the Opeongo Road. Tamarack, Algonquin’s only cone-bearing tree that drops all its needles, is showing "past peak" conditions.
