As we know, it’s going to be an absolutely spectacular autumn in Maine this year. The colors are set to be some of the boldest we’ve seen in years and, with any lucky, they’ll stick around longer than they did last year. While there are plenty of places in Maine to see the colors on full display, we’ve got our eyes on something special this year. Check out this fall foliage boat cruise in Maine to experience the change of seasons in a whole new way.
