Fall Is Here! How To See The Best Fall Foliage in Maine

Fall is here, and the colors are coming out to prove it!According to the Maine Office of Tourism, fall foliage colors will reach their peak in northern Maine this weekend.

“With below average day time temperatures and very chilly nights over the past several days, northern Maine has seen the progression of color rapidly spreading throughout the forest canopies and hillsides in zones 6 and 7. The time is right for the spectacular viewing of why we love Maine in the fall,” said Gale Ross, fall foliage spokesperson.
