Just got word from Maine Department of Conservation (MDOC) via VisitMaine.com that more Maine fall foliage colors are showing across northern Maine.
The MDOC fall foliage report has Maine Forest Service and state park rangers “observing low leaf color, or 10 to 30 percent toward peak, along with very low leaf drop in all of Aroostook County and northern portions of Piscataquis and Somerset counties…. Rangers believe that some sections of Aroostook County will see moderate color, or 30 to 50 percent toward peak, by this weekend.”
The foliage colors and leaf drop in the rest of Maine are quite low — less than 10 percent, according to the MDOC report.
“Fall colors are starting to show along mountain ridges in Aroostook County,” said Scott Thompson, park ranger at Aroostook State Park near Presque Isle. “Species of bright reds, orange and golds are mixed into a fading hue of mixed greens.”
