Fall Colors Panorama

Door County in autumn is a fleeting masterpiece, a landscape transformed into a brilliant display of fiery reds, golden yellows, and deep oranges. This panoramic image captures the season at its peak, a sweeping view of the peninsula’s forests as they burn with color beneath a shifting autumn sky. Carefully stitched together from multiple frames, the image preserves the full breadth of the landscape, showcasing fall’s grandeur in a way no single shot could.

Peak leaf color in Door County typically arrives between the last week of September and the second week of October, though the exact timing varies each year. Sugar maples begin their transformation first, igniting the forests in vivid shades of red and orange. Aspens and birches follow, their golden tones shimmering against the autumn light, while oaks hold onto their deep russet hues well into late fall. However, the brilliance is short-lived. By mid-October, the first strong winds and rains strip the trees of their leaves, leaving behind a landscape in transition as the peninsula prepares for winter.

Each autumn, visitors flock to Door County, eager to witness this seasonal spectacle. Rustic roads wind through tunnels of color, scenic overlooks in Peninsula and Newport State Parks offer breathtaking views, and small towns come alive with fall festivals, apple picking, and harvest markets. Whether hiking beneath the canopy, taking a drive down tree-lined backroads, or simply enjoying the crisp air with a warm drink in hand, fall in Door County is a time of beauty and nostalgia—a final, vivid burst before winter’s quiet sets in.
