The best place to go leaf-peeping in the USA is in New England. From Connecticut to Maine, come October the scenery of the New England states will turn into a sea of red, orange and yellow hues. Here are a few spots that offer some amazing leaf-peeping opportunities.
Maine
Acadia National Park, the only National Park in New England, is home to dramatic cliffs overlooking rugged beaches, lakes and streams cutting through woodlands. You’ll find lots of maples which foliage turns fiery red around mid-October.
Massachusetts
The Berkshires in Massachusetts turn into an explosion of colours in the fall. Its country roads and cute New England towns offer fantastic autumn photo-ops. The city of Boston is also worth visiting at this time of year. Walking along the historic homes in Beacon Hill that are seasonally decorated with autumnal wreaths and pumpkin arrangements, while fallen leaves crunch under your shoes, really puts you in that New England Fall state of mind.
New Hampshire
This scenic state has got some mighty mountains, woodlands and lakes that burst into an explosion of colours in autumn. A good place to view fall foliage here are the White Mountains and Merrimack Valley.
Connecticut
The enchanting coast of Connecticut is dotted with fishing villages, peaceful fields and tidal marshes. Inland there are plenty of State Parks that offer superb fall foliage and even offer viewing towers to get those fantastic panoramic views.
Vermont
Vermont is farm country and in the fall many of the apple farms you’ll find here offer pick your own fruit events. There’s nothing like picking your own apples on a crisp autumn morning followed by a freshly made, warm apple cider.
