The Wisconsin Fall Color Report is an interactive map showing the status of changing leaves throughout the season. With around 100 local reporters providing regular updates throughout the state, users can check predicted peak dates, see up-to-date color percentages as the season progresses and watch as the colors transform the landscape from north to south.
Filters make it easy for travelers to narrow down the results by sorting from high to low peak or projected peak color timing. Users can also view a three-day weather forecast as well as nearby lodging and dining to round out an itinerary while enjoying the spectacular fall colors.
Featured Attraction - The "M"
The world’s largest “M,” located on the Platte Mound four miles northeast of the city of Platteville, is an iconic symbol of the mining tradition and the history of the University of Wisconsin-Platteville.
The Platteville Mound is one mile long and approximately one-half mile wide, 150 feet high and 450 feet above the city at the summit of the hill. The “M” was built on the south side of the hill at a 45-degree gradient.
