Peak Illinois fall foliage arrives in October at Pere Marquette State Park. See the leaves turn brilliant red, orange, and yellow before weather ends the show.
It's hard to believe that we're only about a month away from the beginning of leaves changing color as Fall gets closer. There are maps and dates that will give you an idea when it will begin and peak in each different part of Illinois.
We're still a few weeks away from the leaves changing color and eventually fall to the ground causing everyone with deciduous trees to pick up a rake and gather the leaves into an appropriate receptacle.
Hard to believe we're not that far away from the season when the colors will start to change signaling the arrival of Fall. If you're a fan of watching leaves performing this annual ritual, you need to drive down the Mississippi River a ways to an Illinois state park that was named one of the best places in America to see the changing of the seasons.
