There’s truly nothing like seeing Maine’s fall beauty in person! After all, we’re called ‘Vacationland’ for a reason, right?

People from all over the world visit New England year-round, but one of the biggest selling points of our region is its distinct and pronounced seasons. And while Maine is known for its pine trees, blueberries, and lobster, there’s so much more to explore here.

Katie had the following to say about Acadia National Park:

Maine is known for its breathtaking fall foliage. The leaves turn bright oranges, deep reds, and golden yellows every late October to early November. I can’t imagine a better place to witness it than in Acadia National Park. This special place is where the forest meets the ocean, with hikes overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Make sure to stop by downtown Bar Harbor when visiting. The adorable town is filled with restaurants and ice cream shops. I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate the fall season.
