The 2019 Leaf Peepers Guide to Fall Foliage in New England
Posted On: 09/23/2019
The scenery in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire is always beautiful, but during the fall it becomes a lot more colorful as the nights turn cooler. The colors usually start changing in mid September, but sometimes you can see a sprinkle of fall color in late August. Every year is a little different, but autumn remains a time of anticipation for the gorgeous colors.
Book your trip to the Lakes Region and take a leisurely drive or boat ride around Lake Winnipesaukee. Regardless of your starting point, there’s plenty to see on this 115-mile loop, sweeping through Alton, Alton Bay, Gilford, Weirs Beach, Meredith, Holderness, Center Harbor and Moultonborough.
When Peak Foliage Arrives
Peak foliage happens at a slightly different time each year. The color is brought out by a combination of chilly nights, and sunny, warm days. Peak color usually arrives in Northern New Hampshire during the final days of September, and the first days of October while Central New Hampshire experiences its peak foliage within the first two weeks of October. Southern New Hampshire and most of Western Massachusetts can expect the arrival of peak colors in mid October. We're nearly there for those of us in the Lakes Region so plan your trip now.

With all these options, it’s no wonder that visitors from all over the world make the Lakes Region of New Hampshire a “must do” for “leaf peeping!” There’s no training required to become a leaf peeper to view and take pictures firsthand of this colorful phenomenon.
