Looking for the biggest bursts of color this autumn? New England's top leaf-peeping expert shares his secrets.
. After a drought for much of the year, he says, it rained all July across most of New England.
New England's fall foliage season generally lasts about six weeks across the region, says Salge, “but usually only a week or two in any particular spot.” For most of the rest of New England, Salge expects a longer but slightly less vibrant season due to too much rain in the summer and warmer-than-usual fall temperatures. “We might lack the really, really bright red this year, but a long season of orange glow is definitely something that we can see.”
On the other hand, if you can’t get away until a bit later in the season, set your sights on a large body of water. “Some of our biggest lakes, like Lake Champlain and Lake Winnipesaukee, hold so much heat at night that those valleys actually turn later than surrounding regions,” says Salge.Autumn leaves change color a bit later along the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire.While you’ll find color all over the Northeast this season, not every place will pack the same punch.
