Lots of Fall Colours--at lower levels.

Although the Ontario Fall Colour report has stopped, don't let this deter you from travelling north of Toronto to enjoy hikes and fall colour walks. There are many forested areas that have brilliant views of yellows, with a few reds as well as amazing contrasts of the golden Poplar trees against the darker greens of Spruce , Cedars and Pines. The attached photos highlight the areas in and around Midland north of Toronto, taken on Friday October 26. A perfect fall colour drive into the Midland area would be the Old Fort Road Tour starting at Highway 400 and Highway 93.

Summer in Ontario's Cottage Country

Ontario Beaches, Cottages and Canoes

Several of the Canadian icons, the cottage, the canoe, and a beach go hand in hand with what may be described as the perfect summer vacation. The need to getaway into cottage country takes many forms for the visitors who do not own a cottage. For example, one can visit the Midland/Penetanquishene area of Ontario and stay in a local motel or hotel, and take advantage of the great beaches at nearby Awenda Provincial Park. See photo's of Awenda in June. Just a bit east of Midland is Victoria Harbour on Georgian Bay close to the trans Canada Trail, and a public beach for day trippers who want to do a little cycling and have a swim in the cool waters of Georgian Bay. Of course there are always getaway packages at cottage resorts, or private rental cottages in areas such as Muskoka and Haliburton.
