Ontario in the fall

Now that we're already halfway through August, fall will be here before you know it. 

The first day of fall this year is Saturday, September 23 and this is also the day of the Autumn Equinox.

Fall, without a doubt, unveils Ontario's charm at its finest, and in just a few weeks, the lush greenery of summer will gracefully give way to the signature hues of radiant yellows, warm oranges, and deep reds.

And while you can simply enjoy the leaves as they change from your own backyard, the true treasure trove of autumnal beauty awaits adventurers at the many parks scattered throughout the province. These serene havens become ablaze with nature's palette, making them the prime destinations to check out the leaves as they change colour.
