The fall season in New England signifies the shift from the warmth of summer to the chill of winter, and it’s renowned for its breathtaking hues and scenic splendor. The fall foliage in New England is said to showcase some of the most radiant natural colors found in the United States, making it a sought-after destination for tourists from all over North America and beyond. Enthusiasts journey to regions such as Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and certain areas of Massachusetts to witness the autumnal spectacle, an activity fondly referred to as leaf peeping.  Hiking during Autumn has become popular due to the magnificent colors and scenery.

The combination of natural rugged landscape and rural, small-town villages have made several areas in New England iconic locations for fall color photography. The numerous barns, church buildings, farmhouses, covered bridges, and villages, combined with the vibrant seasonal colors make for iconic photographs.

Across most of northern New England by mid-September the days are still warm, but the nights have become cool.

This period marks the start of the transformation process in deciduous trees, where their leaves change into a variety of colors. In New England, a significant proportion of trees generate a pigment called Anthocyanin, resulting in the vibrant reds and purples that are typically observed during this season, a transformation that is especially noticeable in the region’s sugar maple trees. This gradual color-changing process initiates in northern Maine and the higher terrains of Vermont and New Hampshire around mid-September, progressively extending to the central New England regions of southern Vermont and New Hampshire.

Autumn in New Hampshire begins in mid-late September and runs through the end of October. The best time to see the leaves change color is around mid-to-late September and extends through mid-October. Fall colors are expected to peak around the week of October 15, and by the time October finishes, the foliage is pretty much gone. The best time to see the leaves change color is from north to south, and the best foliage towns and routes for stunning scenery can be found in the New Hampshire White Mountains and around the Big Lake, Lake Winnipesaukee. Center Harbor, New Hampshire is a charming place to experience fall in the state.

So put on your cozy sweater, grab a cup of coffee and let’s explore the absolute best spots to catch fall in New Hampshire. For capturing stunning scenery around the Lakes and Mountains, my Hot Picks will explain exactly why this world-renowned destination should be your next trip!

My Hot Picks:

Come and experience Autumn at Center Harbor Inn, in the beautiful Lakes Region of New Hampshire. Experience its magical kaleidoscope of colors firsthand atop several local mountain peaks or from a cruise along the magnificent Lake of the Winnipesaukee in one of our own kayaks, paddle boards, or pedal boats right from the shores of our own sandy beach. 

Fill your senses with the aromas of leaves baking in the last of summer’s sun.  Sip your favorite wine by the open fire and take in the mountain backdrop where the foliage seems to wrap around the lake from every direction.  Take a soak and relax in our lakeside outdoor hot tub as the sun begins to trail away. Retire in the comfort of your own king or queen sized bed for a rejuvenating night’s sleep and in the morning join us for breakfast before you get ready to enjoy another amazing adventure filled day.

Add to your experience by taking advantage of one of our Special Autumn Packages. Make your reservations early so that you do not miss out on this spectacular season of transition.

We are so looking forward to your visit with us.
