As daylight decreases and temperatures drop, Maine's fall foliage comes into full bloom. For all you leaf peepers out there, there's a website dedicated to the viewing of foliage. This website lists the current foliage status over 7 regions of the state.

According the latest foliage report, the viewing is currently best in Northern Maine, but as September ends the lower part of the state will begin to see its own trees turn vibrant shades.



So once the leaves start turning, where's the best place to see them? That's up to the peeper, but one of the most scenic foliage locations is Acadia National Park, which will be holding guided hikes on Sundays. Those lucky leaf peepers who find an ideal spot can share the wealth on the Maine foliage website in the foliage forum.



Since summer weather was such a bust, why not take advantage of the beautiful fall we're having? Take a moment to enjoy this season's fabulous foliage, whether it's simply glancing out the window on the drive home or hiking a wooded trail.
