Maine’s Official Fall Foliage Website Is Up And Running

Yesterday while sitting at the stop light in Holden, I glanced up the hill on the other side of the railroad tracks and saw that familiar sight.  The leaves are starting to change.

Soon we'll be traveling to all areas with our family and our cameras to see the beautiful fall foliage, and once again this year the State Of Maine will give us a "heads up" as to where to go to see the best of it!

The Maine Foliage website passes along a wealth of information, starting with a map that changes daily (just like the leaves), showing one the best parts of the state to see the brilliant fall colors!

You can plan your fall foliage trip, where and when to visit, and get reports via email!  You can even submit your own photos of the areas that you've visited, so that others can decide if they'd like to go there too!

According to Bill Ostrofsky, Forest Pathologist within the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry, “The overall timing of peak color change will be near average this year – about the last week in September through the first week in October for the Augusta area; a bit earlier North, and a bit later South.  With a return to cooler temperatures (more typical of what we have seen all year, with the exception of the past ten days or so), we should be in for a glorious season.”
