You need to know three things before going to Acadia: when to go, what to see, and which Acadia tours to take. The “when to go” is easy! Since the park is closed for the winter and early spring, you can only visit from May to November. Spring and summer are beautiful at Acadia, but […]
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.
The exact best time to visit Acadia National Park can depend heavily on the weather conditions. If nights get cold pretty early on, you can feel safe visiting in late September. If you're not sure, your safest bet is smack-dab in the middle of October!
