Where is the best place to go in New England in September?
Looking for all the fall stuff: festivals, apple picking, wineries, antiques! This time is just my husband and I and another couple. Great pubs are always a plus too! Any help would be appreciated!!
Thanks
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
