10. Canoe/Kayak

For foliage views times two, put your canoe or kayak in at the state-owned boat access on Powers Lake in East Lyme, Connecticut. It’s close to major population centers but offers one big surprise: This 152-acre lake is undeveloped except for a Yale University retreat center. The untouched shoreline is edged by a diversity of woodland flora, which means a wide variety of colors.
