Fall

Fall comes early to the northern forests. September arrives and the weather is generally beautiful but soon the crisp evenings begin to change the leaves from green to red and orange. Fishermen enjoy the fall and fish the cooling lake and river water for large trout and salmon. Lake fishing ends September 30 but rivers and ponds remain open. Archery seasons for deer hunting and bear hunting begin in September.

October sees the leaves dropping, fishing season’s last day is October 15th and small game hunting season opens on the first. The weather fluctuates greatly in October. You are apt to see 70 degrees and the first snow on the ground both in October. Our annual fireman’s auction is held on the Saturday of the Columbus Day weekend. Crisp days, cool evenings and the change of season make October a favorite month of many.

November is known for the opening of the deer hunting season for rifle and muzzleloader. Snow occurs often this month and generally stays on the ground for good come the end of the month. Visitors come to our area for hunting and for choosing a Christmas tree over the Thanksgiving holiday. Our area has numerous tree plantations. There is nothing like a fresh cut Christmas tree from the North Country!
