Newberry / Munising Fall Color Photos – 2025
FROM McGill's Nature in Motion >> The last vestige of Fall here around our U.P. home on South Manistique Lake in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It always seems to go too fast. I might not get a chance to post till we get home sometime on Friday. But I'll be back. 😉 #newberry #fallcolorphotos
FROM Head in the Clouds Photography >> From the mouth of the Anna River, the view tightens like a painter’s brushstroke, compressing Munising’s autumn into a single, dazzling frame. The city docks and Bayshore Amphitheater rest quietly at the water’s edge, while the Pictured Rocks Cruises vessel waits, dwarfed by the fiery tapestry rising behind it. Every shade of fall—crimson, gold, ember-orange, and pine green—spills down the hillside, a reminder that peak color doesn’t whisper; it roars. It’s Munising in full voice, a fleeting spectacle that feels both intimate and immense.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.FROM McGill's Nature in Motion >> Another photo from my late afternoon drive today around the Manistique Lakes areas in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I always like catching an old barn amongst the Fall foliage...especially with setting sun shining on it. #newberry #fallcolorphotosAnother photo from my late afternoon drive today around the Manistique Lakes areas in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

It’s probably the most photographed lighthouse in Munising—not because it’s the biggest or the brightest, but because every boat that heads out of the harbor passes it. Tour boats, fishing boats, kayaks—you see it on the way out, and you can’t help but shoot it again on the way back. Its weathered wooden tower has stood through a century and a half of Superior’s fury, long after it was decommissioned in 1913. What makes it special is the way it seems to melt into the backdrop—here, framed by a hillside of fiery fall color. The gray clapboards echo the rocks along the shore, while the forest bursts into every shade of red, orange, and gold behind it. It’s a reminder that history doesn’t always live in museums; sometimes it clings to the edges of the wilderness, quietly enduring, waiting for the next passing boatload of visitors to raise a camera.

FROM McGill's Nature in Motion >> We headed up near Munising to continue our leaf peeking today in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We just had to stop at little Ackerman Lake along M94 to snap the beautiful reflections on this gloomy day. Still, lots of time to get out to enjoy the beauty of Fall...some areas peek...some still to go. Enjoy! #fallcolorphotos #munisingWe headed up near Munising to continue our leaf peeking today in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Photos and Updates From 2015
Newberry Fall Color Report – 10/5 – What a difference a few days (and cool nights) can make! We are seeing a lot more color now, especially where the trees are not as protected as they are in the woods. If you don’t mind driving the “highways” of the area (as opposed to getting deep in the Yooper woods by a gravel road or a two track) you will see some decent color, BUT if you can wait a couple more days it’ll be even better.
I think by this coming weekend, viewing in the area should be pretty good and in SOME places will be close to 60% if not more!! The new “water reflection photo” was taken a couple of days ago. Keep checking back!

Newberry Fall Color Report – 10/01 – The new photo to go with the report today shows a bit more color than what we’ve been seeing. AND it depends on where you are as to how much color there is. Reports have it that the Toonerville Trolley and Boat Tour are showing about 50% along the river, but you can see from this post that is not the case along side the road.
We took a drive towards Lake Superior and didn’t see hardly any color change going N. out of Eckerman. Then we went on Curly Lewis Hwy which runs e-w and not much there. We cut across on a side road towards Strongs which runs n-s and the photo is pretty representative of what we saw on that 9 mile stretch.
We have had very chilly early a.m. temps and frost which will help the colors start to change more quickly. I think if you try to time it for around October 8 + you should be good.
