Maine Fall Foliage Report for This Week: October 2nd

Let's take a look at the fall foliage report for this week, October 2nd - October 8th, for the state of Maine.

Depending on where you are in the State of Maine, you'll get to see all flavors of fall.  Northern Maine towns in the County will be seeing peak leaf peeping right now.  Moving southward and west to the towns of Jackman, Greenville and Eustis you'll see leaf peeping that is close to peak.  Moving more southern (Bangor), eastern (Bar Harbor, Machias, Calais)  and farther West (Rangeley, Bethel) the foliage is still at moderate levels.

Southern Maine, including Augusta and Penobscot river towns and south, are all at the low foliage, low change over stage for leaf peeping.

The peak week for the Bangor area to check out the best and brightest foliage viewing is predicted to be somewhere near October 15th - 20th.
