1. Bucks County, PA

 

Bucks County, Pennsylvania offers many picture-perfect spots for foliage viewing. One of these is a quaint and historic town called Yardley, where you can find the picturesque Lake Afton. Lake Afton is the most scenic foliage spot in the area and it is in its loveliest in late October.

 

There's also Newton in Bucks County, where you can find Tyler State Park. The park has serene lakes, historic bridges, and splendid amber foliage, but the best spot for taking in the magic of autumn is Neshaminy Creek, which runs through the county in confluence with Delaware River.

 

Climb up Bowman's Hill Tower at Washington Crossing Historic Park and get a bird's eye view of the county's splendid autumnal spread. You can also bike along Delaware Canal State Park's scenic towpath, which is a tree-lined 60-mile towpath that offers amazing foliage scenery.

 

You can go on the Bucks County Covered Bridge Driving Tour where you can admire the county's lovely covered bridges as you drive through. Or perhaps get on a hot air balloon and view the miles of gorgeous landscapes from above.

 

2. Litchfield, CT

 

Litchfield is a pretty historic town in Connecticut that is an ideal home base for foliage spotters who want to experience western New England's autumn glory. You can go on a hike at Mount Tom State Park for a lovely view of the town's red, orange, and golden yellow foliage, or go for a scenic drive along the shores of Lake Waramaug.
