Answer 1

The Best Places to See Fall Foliage



Walden Pond State Reservation (Concord, Mass.): Walden Pond is hidden from the road by the woods where Henry David Thoreau built a small cabin and lived from 1845 to 1847. When the leaves are turning and the trees are reflected in the water, it's hard to imagine why he left.

Bash-Bish Falls State Park (Mass.): Head from the comely village of South Egremont up into the forested hills of the southwest corner of Massachusetts. The roads, which change from macadam to gravel to dirt and back, wind between crimson clouds of sugar maples and white birches feather-stroked against banks of black evergreens. The payoff is a three-state view from a promontory above a 50-foot cascade notched into a bluff, with carpets of russet and gold stretching all the way to the Hudson River.

The Litchfield Hills (Conn.): Route 7, running south to north through the rugged northwest corner of Connecticut, roughly along the course of the Housatonic River, explodes with color in the weeks before and after Columbus Day. Leaves drift down to the water and whirl down the foaming river.

I-91 (Vt.): An interstate? Don't scoff (the traffic can be terrible on narrow state roads). If you like your foliage viewing wholesale, cruise I-91 from Brattleboro to Newport. You'll be overwhelmed with gorgeous terrain, from the gentle Connecticut River Valley to the sloping hills of the Northeast Kingdom.

Route 100 (Vt.): Route 100 winds the length of Vermont from Readsboro to Newport. It's the major north-south route through the center of the Green Mountains, and it's surprisingly undeveloped along most of its length. You won't have it to yourself along the southern stretches on autumn weekends, but as you head farther north, you'll leave the crowds behind.

Crawford Notch (N.H.): Route 302 passes through this scenic valley, where you can see the brilliant red maples and yellow birches high on the hillsides. In fall, Mount Washington, in the background, is likely to be dusted with an early snow.

Camden (Maine): The dazzling fall colors that cover the rolling hills are reflected in Penobscot Bay on the east side, and in the lakes on the west. Ascend the peaks for views out to the color-splashed islands in the bay. Autumn usually comes a week or so later on the coast, so you can stretch out your viewing pleasure

Answer 2

Fall stuff....we'll if you're looking for the leaves to change in Northern New England, that might not be until the first week of October...further south would be even later. I'd suggest finding each states web site with the .gov after it and check the "autumn" link. You may also find something under iBtraveling.com that might interest you too. I usually find something there if it has to do with traveling. Great site. My suggestion would definitely go to the mountains where it'll be the prettiest. You can always head into the cities at another time of year.

Answer 3

If you're in the Springfield, Massachusetts area, September is the time that the "Big E" fair is held. It's sort of like a state fair, except it's for the entire 6-state New England area. The dates for this year's Big E fair are Sept. 14th - 30th.

Answer 4

I live in New England and it is always beautiful in the Fall. The best place to go to see all this is the central region of New Hampshire. The Sandwich Fair is in September or October in Sandwich, New Hampshire.

Answer 5

Maine is the situation to pass. everywhere alongside the seacoast is gorgeous. Sebago Lake, Rangely Lake, and Moosehead Lake area are additionally very mind-blowing. Baxter state park and Acadia park (Bar Harbor) are in all risk the desirable places to work out yet are fairly remote from Boston. i could start up from Boston by ability of going up the NH & Maine seacoast. Then pass northwest by Maine and into the NH White mountains and rapidly over into Vermont. examine out Burlington VT and Lake Champlain then head south Into the Berkshire mountains in Massachusetts. Then in case you nonetheless have time head south by Connecticut, then pass to Newport in Rhode Island, and ultimately Cape Cod in Massachusetts.

Answer 6

I have lived in New Hampshire for most of my life. I would def recommend Lake Winnepasaukee. It has the best views. The water there is beautiful and cleanest in the US. Try the seafood.
