Fall foliage is reaching its peak along the crown of Maine, while leaves are getting increasingly vibrant inland.
According to this week’s fall foliage report, peak foliage has set in across more than 70 percent of the northernmost region. The Greenville and Jackman regions of western Maine are also seeing increased vibrancy. Peak foliage is expected throughout central Maine throughout next week, while colors will likely reach full vibrancy through the Maine Highlands within the next few days.
“The conditions projected for this upcoming long holiday weekend set us up for one of the best weekends to plan your fall foliage outdoor activities,” fall foliage spokesperson Gale Ross said Wednesday.
Foliage is becoming more colorful Down East, with foliage east of Bar Harbor through Calais likely reaching peak by midweek next week.
As foliage continues to spread from north to south, the best viewing will be through the Maine Highlands, Down East Maine and some regions of Hancock County.
