THE 3 BEST SPOTS TO SEE FALL COLORS IN MAINE
Maine starts taking on its fall hues in September and generally reaches its peak around mid to late October. The best way to see where the best colors are is by looking at a foliage report. There are several places throughout Boothbay Harbor that are perfect for an afternoon of leaf peeping.
Let four wheels take you on a leaf-peeping adventure on a scenic drive. One great drive, the Midcoast Ramble, starts in Brunswick and heads along Route 1, where it splits off into countless detours, including Boothbay Harbor. The route ends in Camden, where you can hike to the top of Mount Battie in Camden Hills State Park for sweeping views.
Open through October, the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens is a fun place to experience fall foliage. The surrounding trees and shrubs take on warm hues, making the annuals and other plants pop even more. The property is also decorated for the season with corn stalks, pumpkins, and gourds.
Perhaps some of the best places for fall foliage are at the numerous nature preserves near the resort. Lobster Cove Meadow and the connecting Appalacchee Preserve attract countless visitors yearly. Another great option is the Colby Preserve, which gives you a glimpse of fall colors on the shoreline of the Damariscotta River.
