Price County, WI – This weekend is poised to deliver spectacular viewing opportunities as the celebrated fall foliage season blankets Price County, inviting visitors to experience Wisconsin’s Northwoods at its most vibrant peak. For many residents and visitors, this window of brilliant color represents Wisconsin’s “golden moments,” which famously last only a few weeks.
The official Travel Wisconsin Fall Color Report serves as the definitive guide to tracking these transformations, making it simple to locate the best fall color locations for autumn adventures. This website is comprehensive and timely, utilizing over 100 local fall color reporters who provide regular updates across all 72 counties of the state. This detailed report allows enthusiasts to see predicted peak dates and up-to-date color percentages, noting how the landscape shifts from north to south. The color status is measured on a defined scale, ranging from 0% and 25% up through 50% and 75% coverage, culminating in the critical “Peak” phase before fading. Reports can be filtered specifically to display locations that are currently “At Peak” or “Fading Peak”.
In Price County, located deep within the Northwoods, the true excitement of autumn foliage begins “where the pavement ends”. Unlike traveling conventional roads, Price County encourages visitors to take the path less traveled, offering access to hundreds of miles of motorized trails. These trails lead directly into the unspoiled beauty of the Wisconsin Northwoods, providing unique vantage points for viewing the seasonal change. Whether seeking a rollicking adventure over endless acres of pristine publicly accessible land with friends, or a scenic, secluded ride along a peaceful waterway with a special guest, the trails provide the ideal setting.
The timing could not be better, as several community events this weekend are tailored for color viewing. On Saturday, October 4, 2025, the Lenapalooza UTV ATV Color Tour Ride is scheduled to take place. This event, organized by the Flambeau Riders UTV ATV Club and Lena’s Northern Pines Resort, specifically encourages guests to utilize the local motorized trail system to explore the brilliant foliage.
Additionally, the Phillips Fall Harvest Festival returns on October 4, 2025, bringing anticipated community excitement to the crisp autumn air. The festival, which features an Arts and Craft show on Avon Ave, fall produce, Kid’s Pumpkin Decorating, and various specials, provides a festive backdrop to the scenic Northwoods environment. Also scheduled for October 4 is the Chequamegon Sportsman Club Turkey Shoot, featuring raffles, food, drinks, and fun.
