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.

Bon Echo has so much to offer and so many hikes to see, but to uphold our tradition, we need some suggestions! ⛺️🌲 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉🏻 Swipe for Mazinaw Rock (and a great hike)! 👉🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Speaking of leaves, I'm sure you've all heard about the devastation to the Amazon rainforest happening RIGHT NOW! With @tentree Releaf Project, there is no better time than to do your part in saving the planet! The Earth is so fragile and we have a responsibility to uphold proper balance. We have done so much damage as a species and as climate change progresses for the worst, the pressure is on us more than ever to do our part to give back to the planet that we have taken so much from. We NEED to protect what we have and that means making a change - a change to how we live, our habits, and what drives our economy. We need to stray from petroleum resources and start supporting renewable energies and sustainable products. Every little bit of change can help reduce the impact on not just the climate, but the need for companies to start expanding territory into natural commodities like the rainforest. 🌍🌿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷 Shot on iPhone X 📱 • • • • • #adventurealways #agameoftones #togetherweroam #artofvisuals #kinfolk #camping #campcanada #ontario #ontariotravel #yourstodiscover #discover #discoverON #explorecanada #exploreontario #iphonephotography #iphonex #catalystcase #ontarioparks #arcteryx #arcteryxtoronto #arcteryxyorkdale #ontarioparks #bonechoprovincialpark #pmpresets2018 #ontarioforyou #ontariotravel #mycanadianphotos #escapetoronto A post shared by Daniel Battersby (@danielbattersby) on Aug 27, 2019 at 3:49pm PDT Website Restoule Provincial Park Leaf Colour: Orange (as of October 2, 2019) Colour Change: 60% Leaf Fall: 20% Why You Need To Go: At this provincial park, the leaves have just turned yellow, orange, and red.
