Color starts changing in New Brunswick and northern Maine about mid September. One could combine a couple of routes for a spectacular touring route. 

North into Quebec for the Gaspe Penninsula. Tour CCW. Then south,  via  11 and 134 to Moncton area. Then Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island are available for viewing. Then down through Saint John, another reversing falls, to Calais Maine. Then slither along the Main e Coast to Bar Harbor, Acadia NP. Turn west on to US 2 and run over to Vermont and then south following the color down to the Smokie Mountains NP. 

  1. Alternative is Gaspe then south to Van Buren Maine and south along the St John river on US 1,
  2. Or turn right towards Ft Kent then south on 11 and on to Bangor and route 2. 

Understand campgrounds in New England pretty much all close on October 15, Columbus Day weekend is the usually the last days. 

Fryeburg Fair ends that weekend also. Worth visiting.

We have been up there many times, the last time in 2016 http://banbrv.blogspot.com/2016/09/wandering-around-maine.html.

There are lots of facilities, the roads are good, scenery spectacular. Yu really can't go wrong. Get there early because the colors don't happen on a strict schedule so you may have to wait a week or so to see them best. We love Vermont best but it you like seafood especially Lobster then Maine is great too. Try signing up for the Chapter 3 Lobster Rally and take in the Rockland Lobster fest.

Mmm, my mouth is watering already!!
