What’s a Wisconsin Fall Like?
Fall in Wisconsin can range from 60s and 70s in the early fall to 50s and 60s in the late fall. The air is crisp and refreshing, perfect for hiking, biking and experiencing fall colors across the state!
You can spot fall color popping up across the state starting in mid-September and peaking in mid-October. For the most up to date info, check out the Fall Color Report before planning your trip.
Fall color can be enjoyed in various ways across the state. Take a hike through beautiful bluffs, road trip along the Great River Road or board a train to see the kaleidoscope of color across the state.
Crisp air and changing temps mean ripe apples, hearty gourds, perfect pumpkins and a whole flood of cranberries. Fall tastes best when served fresh, so make sure to plan your visit before the leaves start to change colors.
