When the leaves start turning in Saugatuck, the Kalamazoo River gives you plenty of ways to see them. You can watch the colors from the deck of a paddlewheel boat, kayak past the wooded shoreline, hike above the river, or climb to the top of Mount Baldhead for a view that stretches across Saugatuck, Douglas, the river, and Lake Michigan.
Fall color in Saugatuck typically peaks between mid- and late October. While exact timing shifts every year depending on the weather, keeping an eye on local foliage reports as your trip approaches will help you time your visit just right.
