It varies so much. In 2013, about a week into October we didn't have much color on the lakes but the drive from Ely to Virginia was amazing. The trees on the lakes turn later because the water moderates the air temps. South of Virginia and onto the TC it all went back to green.

had great color last year in Northern Quetico during the first week of October, but not as great the last 2 weeks of September. The 3 years before that had little color the last week of September.

we did an early Oct trip in 2010 I believe - there were a few areas that had already passed peak, but most areas we hit at 100%.
Driving home, we took a wrong turn out of Ely and hit the most magnificent stand of birch trees that were screaming yellow/red, just as the sun was going down....best sight of the entire damn trip!
