Color Fall Week 3 and photos from Week 2 & 3

View from the Church Shelter (Week 3)

A dappling of fall color is showing up at Pennyrile Forest State Resort Park. This week we are beginning to see brilliant yellows in some of the many hickory trees at the park. Currently we are at 25-30% color change, but it could be closer to 50% by the weekend. Some of the most showy tree species so far are Blackgum (past peak) and Sourwood, both are showing beautiful reds. Flowering Dogwood, Sassafras, Sumac, Black Walnut, Catalpa, the Maples, the Hickories, and Tulip Poplars are also showing color. We are beginning to see some change in the forest interior. Many of the Oaks are still very green. Peak fall color is expected to be mid to late October.

Fall color should be nice for Pennyrile Forest State Resort Park's Fall Photography Weekend October 17-19, 2014. You can register at the park's lodge lobby beginning at 2PM on Friday October 17th.
