This time of year nature is at its colorful best!
And, with the colors of fall upon us we thought it was a good time to take a look back at an Outlook favorite that explains the science behind the foliage phenomenon.
In 2001, Outlook's Chip Neal spoke to Dave Erler, the Senior Naturalist, here at the Squam Lake Natural Science Center, about why leaves change color.
Here's what he had to say.

Autumn in New Hampshire means more than just changing leaves.
It means, county fairs, apple harvests and pumpkins.
Have you ever thought about what it takes to grow a GIANT pumpkin?
We did, so in 2005, we sent Steve Taylor, NH's Commissioner of Agriculture, to Goffstown to find out the science behind it.

On Golden Pond background:
Twenty years ago, Hollywood went scouting for the perfect New England Lake to be the location for the classic movie, “On Golden Pond”. Of course, the lake had to be gorgeous, pristine and undeveloped. And, it had to be within two hours of a major metropolitan area. It was a tall order, but they found what they were looking for at Squam Lake. Today, it would still fit the bill.
- New England Travel & Life, 2001
Hollywood Comes to Squam Lakes
In 1981, Squam Lakes were transformed by the arrival of the Hollywood film crew to make the Academy Award winning film written by Ernest Thompson, On Golden Pond. Starring Katharine Hepburn, Henry Fonda, Jane Fonda, Dabney Coleman, and Doug McKeon, this film is a touching love story of Norman and Ethel Thayer as they return to their summer home on Golden Pond for the 44th year. The producers chose Squam Lakes as the perfect backdrop for the film and today visitors still come to see the sites where Hollywood left its marks.
As you pull into the town of Holderness, the marina looks much the same as when they filmed Katharine Hepburn’s scene to get the boat to rescue Norman and Billy on their ill-fated fishing trip. If you take a tour boat ride on Squam Lake, you will see the cottage where the movie was filmed along with Purgatory Cove. For movie lovers and the like, it is worth the trip.
On Golden Pond Lives On
Many of the businesses in the Squam Lakes area enjoy the benefits of being located where a movie had been filmed which is reflected in the names of the establishments. Walter’s Basin, The Inn on Golden Pond, The Manor on Golden Pond, Golden Pond Country Store to name a few. Squam Lakes is fortunate to have a community dedicated to preserving the natural beauty of the area which is evident in the pristine quality Squam Lakes continues to possess.
Today, the Squam Lakes region is a favorite New Hampshire vacation destination. If you are coming to take in the sites of the movie or the natural beauty of the area, Squam Lakes will become your favorite New Hampshire vacation destination, too.

Experience the beauty of the Squam Lakes, and hear stories of "Golden Pond". Learn about how these lakes were formed and about loons and other wildlife that make the lakes so special. The Squam Lakes Science Center is a non-profit educational organization located in central New Hampshire. Their mission is to advance understanding of ecology by exploring New Hampshire's natural world. There are hiking trails, displays, beautiful gardens, and a gift shop. Open year round.
The Squam Lakes region is home to the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, which features four self-guided trails including the Gephart Trail with native New Hampshire wildlife in natural woodland enclosures. If you want to get onto the Squam Lakes and you don’t have your own vessel, tour boat companies offer guided tours of the lakes. Scenes from On Golden Pond including the location of the famous back flip by Jane Fonda into the lake or Katharine Hepburn running into the marina, are recognizable sites on the tours. In the spring, the annual ritual of tapping maple trees and boiling the sap into dark maple syrup abounds, while the fall sees Squam Lakes wrapped in the incredible colors of the New England foliage.
Squam Lakes Natural Science Center Fall Foliage Cruise
Autumn is a season of change. The air becomes cool and crisp, the foliage sheds its green cloak for one of spectacular colors. Many birds begin their annual migration to warmer climates and year round residents start getting ready for winter. Cruise on the lake with Senior Naturalist Dave Erler and experience this season of transition as we search for resident wildlife, including loons, migratory birds, and the spectacular colors around Squam Lake. Minimum enrollment 4, maximum 16.
140 feet of sandy beach frontage on Squam Lake
25 years later little seems to have changed.
Vintage Chris-Crafts still ply Squam's clear, spring-fed waters. A local summer resort still stocks its cabins' refrigerators with blocks of ice cut from the lake the previous winter. And at Holderness' Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, they're celebrating: Founded 40 years ago out of fears that I-93's expansion through Franconia Notch would lead to over-development, the center is less a refuge than another bucolic diversion.
For the outdoorsman the Squam Lakes offer 65 miles of shoreline to explore, more than 30 islands to circumvent, and 10 miles of open waterway to sail, motor or paddle in. Watch and listen to the loons. Fish the cool crystal clear waters for bass, salmon and trout.
