Fall is awesome in Maine.

10 things to do in Augusta Maine in the fall.

With the summer over and the cold coming soon I thought it would be good to remind everyone that there is still plenty of time and good weather to enjoy Maine. Here is a small list of things to do in Maine before the snow flies.


Fishing/Hunting
There are great places all over Maine to hunt or fish, from the ocean on the coast to lakes, rivers, and streams farther inland. Make sure you have the right license or permit before you go.

Canoeing/Kayaking on the Kennebec
Doesn’t get much better than canoeing down the river on a nice fall day. Keep an eye out for wildlife especially if you are in the deep woods.

Picking apples
Picking your own apples is a great tradition in Maine. If you are really feeling rambunctious you can try to make your own apple cider.

Golf
There are still many golf courses open throughout Maine. Check out the course in Belgrade for a treat.

Fairs and festivals
Local fairs and festivals are going on throughout September and October all over the state.

Museums
Check out a museum or two while you’re here. We have everything from the Maine state museum to Colby College’s art museum to antique auto museums and maritime museums. You can’t go wrong with any of them.

Antiquing
If you like old stuff we have tons of it and it’s for sale.

Acadia National Park
When is it not a good time to go to Acadia National Park?

Seacoast/boats
You can find many harbors and boats to check out in Maine. Camden, Boothbay and Bar Harbor are definitely sure things if you are interested in boats.

Leaf peeping
Of course we can’t forget how ridiculously beautiful the leaves are when they change colors. You can just drive around all day checking out the leaves and not get sick of it.
