It’s that time of year — the leaves are changing and they’re changing fast. We’re using the Travel Wisconsin fall color report to make sure we don’t miss out on the perfect fall photo-op.

🍂 Dane County / Madison Area

Estimated peak: Nov. 1-7
Head over to Camp Trippalindee during the first week of November for a craft cocktail + a great rooftop view. The camp-themed aesthetic matches perfectly with the fall scenery.

🍂 Wisconsin Dells

Estimated Peak: Oct., 8-14
Pack up the kids and take a trip to the Dells for some family-friendly fun. A guided boat tour is a great way to appreciate this area’s natural beauty while being able to kick back + relax.

🍂 Lodi + Lake WI

Estimated Peak: Oct. 15-21
Gibralter’s Rock is a 608today favorite for stunning views, especially when the leaves start changing. Bring your hiking boots — a short hike on Ice Age National Scenic Trail takes you to the top of the bluffs.
