As Summer draws to a close, many wait in anticipation of the brief, but beautiful time of year that brings the colors red, orange, and yellow to the trees. Fall Foliage Season is almost upon us and with the promise of beautiful colors and cooler air, it’s also a great time to explore the great outdoors! Here’s a list of our Top 5 Spots to view Fall Foliage, not in any specific order.
- Moosehead Lake/Highlands Region, ME: Known as the gateway to Maine’s North Woods, this region is cherished by outdoor enthusiasts for hiking, biking, kayaking/canoeing, and wildlife watching. Add the change of colors to the trees in Fall and it’s a Nature lover’s dream!
- Stowe, VT: Make the most of your long weekend and head straight to Vermont. Stowe Mountain Resort’s Gondola Skyride gives you a bird’s eye views of the trees and takes you near the top of Vermont’s highest peak where you can further explore and hike to the top on the local trails.
- Franconia Notch State Park, NH: Nestled deep in a mountain pass in White Mountain National Forest, this State Park offers a tranquil hideaway! Hike up Artists Bluff for a gorgeous view of Echo Lake or Flume Gorge, which provides a picturesque view with waterfalls and covered bridges.
- The Catskill Mountains, NY: Located about 100 miles from New York City, it’s the perfect retreat from all the hustle and bustle of the week. Enjoy quant drives through farmland painted with Fall colors and hiking the two-tiered Kaaterskill Falls is a must!
- Wharton State Forest, NJ: The largest and most highly recommended in the State for leaf peeping. It’s the perfect spot for camping, hiking, canoeing, fishing and horseback riding. While you’re there be sure to visit the historic Batsto Village and Cranberry bogs for a Fall trip like no other!
