As the summer’s lush greens turn into golden hues, fall is a magical time in Ontario. With its magnificent colours and mild temperature, autumn activities are the perfect way to wind down and have some fun on the weekends. So go ahead and book your weekend cottage rental this weekend in Ontario – just because summer has ended, it doesn’t mean the fun has to.
Mountain Biking – Delve into the heart of Ontario’s landscape mastery by biking on one of its many rugged trails. Long or short, smooth or rocky, there are terrains to fit everyone’s level and likeness.
Canoeing – The waters are still inviting at this time of year. Take in the cool and stillness of the beautiful scenery around you with a quick morning paddle. Or try one of the provincial parks, like Algonquin, for something more adventurous. There’s nothing like taking in the scenery around you from the middle of a sparkling lake.
Hiking – Of course there is no better way of getting up close and personal with fall’s natural beauty than a hike through Ontario’s many unspoiled nature trails, like the Bruce Trail, the longest trail in the world. When you hike in Ontario, you’re experiencing a beautiful symmetry of nature meeting history.
Bird Watching – If you’re getting out of the rat race of the city, there is no better way of reconnecting with nature than bird watching, an activity that is almost impossible to do in an urban setting. Grab a pair of binoculars and watch birds take flight as they prepare to migrate for the winter.
Art Festivals – With all that outdoor activity, you’ll need to slow it down, so why not take one of the many annual art-ful festivals that happen this time of year. Arts and crafts shows are a-plenty as we head into holiday season, and a unique, homemade gift is always a hit.
