Travelers from all over the country visit New England in autumn for their spectacular colors during the fall foliage season but the Upper Moose River Region in Maine rivals anywhere in New England for its rich and vibrant colors. One reason is that a majority of the land in Maine is forested land and in the Jackman-Moose River Region, over 90% is forest. The bright red maples, golden birches, and yellow aspens and ash trees which all contrast with the deep green softwoods along with the backdrop of the crystal clear blue skies presents nature’s most colorful palette.
To visit the Jackman-Moose River Region, you can begin your foliage tour along the Kennebec-Chaudiere International Scenic Corridor which is a designated international scenic byway. It links the site of the earliest English settlement with one of the earliest French Outposts in Quebec. Along this route (US route 201), you can enjoy many historical attractions as well as some great opportunities for outdoor recreation while soaking up the incredible fall foliage in autumn.
