Mainers and visitors can look forward to a spectacular display of fall colors spreading across the state this week. The fourth 2026 Fall Foliage Report from the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry (DACF) reports moderate to peak color change (30-70 percent) throughout Maine with low (less than 30 percent) leaf drop.
“I’m going to go out on a limb and say this weekend is shaping up to be the gem of all gems for leaf enthusiasts in Maine! The weekend nor’easter brought some beneficial rain, but thankfully, it didn’t bring down the leaves. Our forest rangers report that leaf drop remains relatively low across much of the state which makes it the perfect time to hit the road and find one of the many activities in Maine this weekend,” notes Gale Ross, DACF fall foliage spokesperson.
