Foliage Report-October 4, 2007

The leaves in far northern New England appear to be at or very near peak. From Houlton, Maine along the coast to about Bangor are near peak conditions while farther inland from the Canadian Border south to the mid points of the Green and White Mountains westover toward Lake Champlain are best. Patchy near peak in some of the southern areas from the lower Green Mountains toward the Berkshires have also been reported to thenewenglandcoast.com by readers.
