Ten Great Maine Foliage Roads

Maine’s foliage season runs roughly from mid-September to mid-October, but this varies widely depending on weather, topography, and geography. During this time, the deciduous trees of Maine begin their colorful transformation. Columbus Day Weekend is often the focal point of fall foliage excursions although “peak colors” usually arrive well before the end of October in most of northern and central Maine.

New England is known the world over for its stunning fall foliage color palette, and Maine is no exception to this unique beauty. From the rugged coastline and lonesome lighthouses to quaint fishing villages and fiery mountains, you can find the perfect area to view Maine’s foliage in its full beauty.
