These Are The Best Parks In Ontario Where You Can Catch All The Fall Colours Right Now
Fall wouldn't be complete without spending some time outdoors marveling at the autumn foliage. Here in Ontario, the leaves are turning vibrant shades of yellow, orange, and red. It's the perfect time to go for a fall hike. To help you figure out where to go, we've put together a list of the best parks in Ontario to see fall colours right now.
One challenge of going on a fall hike is figuring out the best time to go. If you go too early, all the leaves might still be green, and if you wait too long, they will have already fallen off the trees.
A handy tool is the Ontario Parks fall foliage map, which provides up-to-date status reports on the leaves in various locations. This useful guide will help you find out the colour of the leaves, along with the percentage of the leaves that have already changed colour.
You no longer have to guess when to go and where the best spots are for your autumn hike. By looking at the Ontario Parks map, we've compiled a list of some of the best areas where you can capture the perfect fall Instagram photos.
