Over apple picking? Head to Maine’s adult-friendly fall destinations | Column (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After realizing my desire to visit an apple orchard in autumn was more about trying to immerse myself in everyone’s favorite season than doing the actual picking, I decided I was done being burdened by bags of fruit in exchange for a few minutes of fall-maxxing. What I wish I’d known sooner is that Maine is home to other destinations in pastoral settings where you can don your coziest flannel, step on crunchy leaves and soak in the season sans manual labor — but with food and beverages instead.

The official tourist season numbers won’t come out for several weeks, but through other sources (mostly social media), we have some idea of who visited Maine this summer. Two of our most well-known part-time residents, Martha Stewart and George W. Bush, both appeared to celebrate milestone birthdays here.

And then, if you’re deterred by traffic, tired or simply uninspired, you might find yourself defaulting to “next week.” That option, however, is about to go away. Although many Mainers feel that September, when there are fewer tourists, is actually the best time to enjoy the state’s summer activities, people here are af

The scene on Maine streets has been wild this summer, just from the view through my windshield: cars running red lights, cyclists riding on the wrong side of the road, Segways zooming down crowded sidewalks. On my commute this morning alone, I passed a kick scooter coming toward me in the bike lane and stopped short for a man who walked into the middle of the road, carrying a crate and cardboard sign toward the median. Remember when tourists and road work were our biggest summer traffic problems
