(Iowa DNR News) – Fun abounds statewide for those in search of color and good times outdoors. Enjoy a fall drive and take in all the beautiful colors this weekend. Plenty of fall color is lingering in northeast Iowa. Fall color will be at its peak in central Iowa this week.  Urban maple is showing a few brighter reds and oranges in southeast Iowa. Hard maple is at peak color in the urban landscapes in south-central Iowa.

Warm nights have slowed color changes in west-central and southwest Iowa. Yellows are just starting to appear on the bottomlands in the Missouri River Corridor.
