Fall Foliage Season Brings Endless Possibilities in Mystic Country

Jason Salzenstein READ TIME: 1 MIN.

Beauty abounds this fall in Mystic Country both outdoors and in scenic drives through brilliantly colored landscapes, crisp tastes of newly harvested wines and foods, and the charm and luxury of an historic inn or bed & breakfast: Mystic Country provides the ultimate in weekend escapes.

Visitors to Mystic Country can view the colors of autumn by land, air, or water from scenic drives, chartered cruises and hot air balloons. Or you can head up the Mystic River in a kayak, or bike through Devil's Hopyard State Park. Hop aboard the Essex Steam Train & Riverboat for an un-paralleled view of the banks of the Connecticut River? How about a drive on Route 169 rated by Scenic America as one of the top 10 scenic roads in the country?

Leaf-peeping season peaks in Connecticut during the month of October, which is also host to wine festivals, pick-your-own apple and pumpkin farms, and several of the area's year-round highlights including world-class entertainment, spas, and dining.

Whatever your pace, Mystic Country offers a beautiful landscape outdoors and welcoming respite indoors at one of many Inns and Bed & Breakfasts.
