In Acadia National Park, fall colors are most vibrant in October. Every autumn, the park's trees begin changing from the typical leafy green — first into a brilliant gold, then soft oranges, and finally profoundly vibrant reds. These changes begin as early as September and extend into November, which is why October is the best time to see fall colors—it's the most likely month to get the full spread of the leafy rainbow!

You can avoid the crowds at Acadia in two ways—visit in the summer or skip those jam-packed Acadia National Park tours. The most important thing is to avoid those typical Acadia National Park tours, like buses or guided experiences and instead go for a self-guided one.
