New Jersey has three major foliage zones, peaking throughout autumn. The first zone includes the northernmost portions of the state, and it’s currently heading into peak season. The second zone encompasses over half of the state, from north to south. It peaks in mid to late October. Zone three consists of our southernmost counties and will not peak until early November.
This includes the entirety of Sussex County, most of Warren, Morris, and Passaic Counties, and the northern portions of Essex, Somerset, Hunterdon, and Bergen Counties.
