Fun Fall Foliage Guide
It’s falls ya’ll.
Autumn seemed to arrive suddenly this year. Take time to sit and watch the leaves turn! Get sweater-weather ready and pick your favorite pumpkin spice beverage to sip on as you make your way to the Interlaken Inn!
During your visit, we want you to make the most of the fall breeze and the autumn leaves. Our fall foliage guide will remind you that change can be not only beautiful but fun for the whole family!
Plan your visit accordingly, and do not forget to book your stay in advance.
Connecticut is expecting a magnificent foliage season! Like most places throughout New England, we have peak foliage timeframes. This will help you determine a time that works with your schedule and with the leaves.
