Pl. suggest which 2 days in the coming fortnight is likely to be the best bet for foliage viewing in NEK? Thanks.

Can't speak to every year, but last year the Lyndonville/Lake Willoughby areas were very nice around October 3rd. I'm sure they were nice at least a few days before then too. By October 7th or so it was noticeably fading.

Actually we were planning trip for 10/2- 10/3. But from what I see in the foliage report archives of so many previous years in some other website, although it is nice, real peak in the NEK region generally does not come earlier than 7th Oct. Am I right?. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. We had almost canceled our trip after going through the previous years' foliage report map archives link in wwwfoliagenetwork.com which indicate peak in NEK every year not before 6th- 7th. But after reading your responses, I feel enthused now to carry on our plans for the trip . We want to witness the best of the show. Can you please suggest the right places to be on 10/2 and 10/3 ? Thank you.

I toured the NEK last Tuesday and from what I've seen 10/2 should be good for foliage. Northeast of Barton will be the best.

Here are some roads that have been recommended in the northern NEK area in the past.

Duck Pond Road, Barton link
Rt. 16 from Barton to Lk Willoughby, Barton link
May Pond Rd (sweeping views), Barton link
Peene Hill Rd, Barton link
Gore Road, Derby Center link
Lake Willoughby, Barton link
Hinton Hill Road, Orleans link
CCC Road; Willoughby view, Barton link
Job's Pond, West Burke link
Abbot Hill Road, Island Pond link
Island Pond south shore, Island Pond link
Hudson Road, Canaan link
Todd Hill Road, Canaan link
Rt. 145 near Colebrook, Colebrook NH link

That info with the links will be of so much help to not only me but everyone who is heading for the NEK! Thanks a lot faxmachineanthem. I will also be waiting eagerly for pwt4' s reports .His reports and commentary are always realistic and something we all can bank upon. Thanks again.

hi,


when i click the link, am i supposed to just get the position of the road or should i get something like start and end point? i did not quite follow the link.

You get a point of interest that you load into your GPS. When you drive to that location you will be in an area that has been known to have had excellent foliage viewing in the past.
