There’s something unforgettable about experiencing Maine in the fall. As the leaves shift into a fiery display of crimson, gold, and orange, the state’s wild landscapes become a living canvas. From rugged mountains to serene lakes and rushing waterfalls, Maine’s natural beauty feels especially alive during autumn, making it a dream destination for travelers, hikers, and photographers alike.
On my journey through Maine, I explored some of the most breathtaking spots that capture the season’s magic. At Mount Katahdin from Abol Bridge, the state’s highest peak rises in the distance, framed by brilliant fall foliage reflected in calm waters. The nearby Lazy Tom Bog offers a quieter, more intimate glimpse of autumn — its stillness a perfect counterpoint to the grandeur of Katahdin.
Further south, Jordan Pond in Autumn in Acadia National Park provides one of the most iconic fall vistas in New England, with mirrored reflections of color dancing across the water. Waterfalls also come alive in this season, and Screw Auger Falls is a perfect example, where rushing water winds through colorful forests.
For those seeking tranquil escapes, Umbagog Lake glows with fiery leaves along its shoreline, while Baxter State Park is a true wilderness paradise, filled with trails that weave through sweeping views of mountains and forests. At Sandy Stream Pond, visitors can often catch sight of wildlife against the brilliant backdrop of fall colors — a moment where nature feels timeless.
Whether you’re planning a road trip through Maine, hiking its many trails, or simply looking for inspiration, exploring these places in autumn offers an unforgettable experience. I’ve captured these scenes through my photography, available as prints on my fine art site, so you can bring a piece of Maine’s fall beauty into your home year-round.
Maine in autumn isn’t just a destination — it’s a season of discovery, where every bend in the road and every quiet pond reflects the fleeting brilliance of nature.
