September is the most popular time to visit Andover, offering a delightful blend of autumn colours and outdoor activities that attract nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike. The peak season spans from August to October, during which visitors can immerse themselves in the stunning landscapes of the Western Maine mountains. This vibrant time is great for hiking, leaf-peeping, and enjoying the crisp fresh air as the foliage transforms into a tapestry of reds, oranges, and yellows.
During September, temperatures typically range from the mid to high teens Celsius, providing a comfortable environment for exploring the local trails and scenic spots. The mild weather makes it ideal for activities such as canoeing on nearby lakes or visiting the charming local shops and cafés.
If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, consider planning your visit in May. This month offers a quieter experience, allowing you to appreciate the beauty of spring blooms and the awakening of the natural surroundings. While fewer tourists may be present, you'll still have access to outdoor adventures and the warm hospitality of the local community.
