“Life is better at the lake,” the saying goes, and in Northern New England, that’s especially true in late summer and early fall, when warm, sunny afternoons fade into crisp evenings and the foliage turns fiery shades of crimson, gold, and orange.
The region’s lakes cater to a variety of vacationing lifestyles and tastes. Whether you prefer a remote campsite by a tarn, a small village by a pond, or a luxury resort on a large lake, this list will help you find a lakeside escape that is sure to please.
