But here in the Bronx? The best is yet to come! How will you know when it&#8217;s time to pay us a visit to see the Garden&#8217;s 250-acres dressed up in the prettiest oranges, reds, and yellows of fall? With our new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nybg.org\/fall_foliage\/index.php\">Fall Foliage Tracker<\/a> of course!<\/p>\n<p>The Garden has a multitude of places for you to enjoy the beauty of fall, but if I had to pick just one place you <em>must<\/em> visit for fall foliage enjoyment, it would be the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nybg.org\/gardens\/thain-family-forest\/index.php\">Thain Family Forest<\/a>. This 50-acre old growth forest is the largest remaining tract of the woodlands that once covered all five boroughs of New York City. The Bronx River, New York City&#8217;s only freshwater river, cuts through it in a dramatic gorge complete with a waterfall.
