New England is experiencing a significant surge in autumn foliage tourism. In Vermont, towns like Stowe are reporting heavier-than-usual traffic and widespread hotel shortages as visitors flock to see the changing leaves.

In Southern Maine, local land trusts have identified several prime locations for viewing the season. Recommended spots in the Sebago Lakes Region include Thayer Brook Preserve, Knight’s Pond Preserve, and Bradbury Mountain State Park. Additionally, the Windham Conservation Area provides views of the White Mountains, with a new Universal Access Trail scheduled to open on October 17.
