Fall Foliage in Kennebunkport

Fall is My Favorite Time of Year in Maine

Although fall doesn't officially arrive until September 21, the crisp, cool evenings here in Southern Maine tell us that fall has arrived! Bev and I were driving some back roads this weekend and were slightly surprised that there are already a few trees showing some areas of bright reds and yellows. Wow; summer flew by!

In the fall, colorful country drives, clear blue skies, warm days and cool evenings draw travelers to the Captain Lord Mansion and Maine to view lots of beautiful foliage. In fact, we have several printed itineraries to help you maximize your foliage viewing. The photograph at right is from the Maine Department of Tourism website and was taken by Paul Strasenburgh. That website will keep you appraised of the color levels in each section of the state.

As I write this blog, I can almost taste the freshly-picked apples or apple cider. There are several delightful family orchards nearby where you can purchase fresh vegetables, different variates of apples and cider. This website gives you a list of nearby apple orchards.

Let us help plan your fall trip to Kennebunkport and southern Maine. Your innkeeper, Rick Litchfield
