Fall colour driving tours in Ontario

Posted by MLF Webmaster on

Native Maples – the Monarchs of Colour!

Are you a ‘leaf peeper’ (vs. royal watcher?)   If you drive many kilometres to witness the magnificent fall foliage displays in Southern Ontario, you can be proud to be a leaf peeper! 

Driving tours are a great way to spend a fall day appreciating the landscape of Southern Ontario when it is ablaze in magnificent colour.  

Different types of native maples display varying colours of yellow, red, orange and burgundy colours in the fall.  The colour of an individual tree can sometimes vary from year to year. Factors such as location, weather, and genetics also play a role in timing and colour intensity.  Colour is generally better when trees are healthy and not stressed by drought or pests.  

While it is difficult to predict when colours will peak, Ontario Parks has a nifty fall colour report that might help you plan your trip to various parts of the province:
