Our coastal communities have enjoyed a beautiful and warm summer this season. With that, we are expecting a great fall color show to be on display once October hits. Although we cannot predict exactly when peak color will be hitting the area, we do know that Manistee County is fortunate to have two seasons of fall color. The higher inland elevations sees peak about a week or two before the coast. Check back here as we will keep you updated with live fall color updates all season long.
