2026 foliage timing
The Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau’s September 2026 forecast projects peak color around October 8–14 for the central zone that includes Bushkill Falls. Peak timing can change with weather, so travelers should check the current regional foliage report before their trip.
A simple fall weekend plan
Day 1: Arrive and settle in
Check in, unpack and enjoy the property. Keep the first evening simple with dinner nearby, a fire-pit night or private spa time.
Day 2: Bushkill Falls
Head to Bushkill Falls for a waterfall-focused day and autumn scenery, then return to the rental for the hot tub, sauna and a relaxed evening. The attraction is one of the Poconos’ signature nature stops and works well as the centerpiece of a couples or family weekend.
Day 3: Slow morning
Use the final morning for coffee, a soak, a short scenic drive or brunch before heading home.
