New England Webcams - New England Fall Foliage

North East Foliage Cams (but available for year-round viewing)

Timing the perfect New England leaf-peeping trip is all about being in the right place at the right time. Use this page as your virtual scouting tool. Start with the Northern New Hampshire and Maine cameras in late September to watch the ‘first blush’ of color. As October progresses, move your focus to Central Vermont and the Berkshires, ending with the Coastal Massachusetts feeds for that beautiful late-season crimson glow. Each camera below includes a tip on the best time of day to view it, helping you see the colors in their best light.
