AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) - Maine's official foliage watchers say this weekend will be the last to view peak color atop two popular viewing spots, Mount Battie and Mount Megunticook in Camden Hills State Park.

Peak foliage color is holding this week along the southern half of Maine's coast and around the capital region. The final 2012 Fall Foliage Report from the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry says leaf drop is currently moderate, or less than 50 percent, in that region.

Foliage color in all other regions of the state is currently past peak, with moderate to high leaf drop.
