Foliage update offered by state

Gorgeous peak foliage will be arriving throughout much of the Thousand Islands-Seaway, Greater Niagara, Finger Lakes and Hudson Valley regions this weekend, while near-peak colors will be found throughout much of Long Island, and New York City will mostly see a mix of early to midpoint change. This is according to the field reports from more than 85 volunteer observers for the Empire State Development Division of Tourism’s I LOVE NY program.

Locations with peak leaves this weekend will include: Alexandria Bay (Thousand Islands-Seaway), Buffalo (Greater Niagara), Elmira and Ithaca (Finger Lakes), Beacon and Cornwall (Hudson Valley), Saratoga Springs (Capital-Saratoga), Utica (Central New York) and Lake George (Adirondacks).
