Closer Than You Think. Better Than You Remember.

Northern Ontario does Fall best. The heat breaks, the bugs disappear, and the forests turn red, orange, and gold from the shoreline to the horizon. The lakes are calm and glassy, reflecting the bursts of colour from the trees. Mornings start with mist and coffee on the dock, and nights end around a fire under a sky packed with stars.

Get out in it while it lasts. Chase the colour on foot, on wheels, or from a window seat on the Agawa Canyon Tour Train. Take the RV out for one last long weekend, hit the backcountry on an ATV, and check the fall colour report before you go so you arrive right at its peak.

The trails are cool, the crowds are gone, and the fishing gets better as the water cools down. Hike all day, eat well, sleep at a quiet lodge on a quiet lake, and stay up late for some of the darkest stargazing skies in the province.

Choose your favourite autumn adventure by scoping out the best of each region, from Sunset Country on the border of Manitoba, all the way to Northeastern Ontario just a few hours' drive from Toronto. Algoma Country boasts the picture-perfect beauty that inspired the Group of Seven’s own autumn escapes, and Superior Country sports all the rugged, wild splendour of the Canadian Shield. Each region offers a look and feel all its own, reinvented in every season, just waiting for you to experience.

It's time to plan a fall getaway that makes the other seasons jealous.
