Fall is a season full of small pleasures: pumpkin spice, apple-picking, the crisp air, beautiful foliage and first stews. There really is nothing quite like it. And with colder weather right around the corner, this is the perfect time to take advantage of the great outdoors. So, since there is no better place than Canada to enjoy the autumn months, we took on the task of finding the top destinations to visit to fully enjoy the fall festivities.
Ontario
Southern Ontario weather cannot be beat. And this might be the ideal place to take advantage of the last beautiful weather before the first snowfalls. Over 2 hours away from Toronto, near Lake Huron, is located the city of Owen Sound. There you can head straight for the gorgeous Harrison Park, also known as “the jewel in the crown’’, where over 40 hectares of green spaces awaits you. The perfect spot to revel at the fall vistas. Fall is also the season during which the salmon migrates making it the ideal time to take part in Owen Sound’s renowned salmon tour. The Chinook Salmon, the largest species of the Pacific Salmon, was introduced in the Great Lakes around the 1960s and has become a staple in the region. Watching the salmon go up the various fish ladders is really something to behold!
Further south, in the heart of the Niagara Region, is located the quaint town of Pelham. And what makes this town so particular is that it is the home to what is believed to be Canada’s oldest maple tree. Though this majestic tree can be admired all year round, seeing it in the fall and witnessing its leaves turn different shades of red, yellow and orange is breathtaking. While there, stop by at the Travel Café which will hopefully help to quench your thirst for travel. And since you are already well on your way, continue your journey and head to the Niagara area to enjoy everything that the wine country of Ontario has to offer or to admire the Niagara Falls.

Quebec
For lovers of the Belle Province, head to the Tremblant region which attracts fall lovers from all over the world. And it’s no wonder: this part of the province of Quebec is stunning. But more than that, it is also a great playground for people of all ages. From enjoying a cruise on Lac Tremblant to dune buggying or even horseback riding, this region offers many ways to admire the autumn foliage.

If island hopping is more up your alley, then Vancouver Island may just be the place to satisfy your dreams of island living. And it definitely is the perfect spot to drag out the summer weather just a little longer while still enjoying the autumn landscapes. On the Saanich Peninsula, north of Victoria, is located the Oak Haven Park, home to the native Garry Oak trees which provide a rich habitat for wildlife and ecosystems. Close by, there is the Sea Cider Farm and Ciderhouse, a large organic farm and orchard where visitors can take in the sea views and enjoy a delicious glass of cider as well as other local delicacies.

Prince Edward Island
On the other side of the country is another island which offers an abundance of activities to enjoy: Prince Edward Island. Also known as Canada’s food island, it is an incredible place to savour the bounty of the fall harvest season. During the months of September and beginning of October, you can visit the Fall Flavours Festival. But all year-round, food is celebrated in critically acclaimed restaurants throughout the island. And to blow off a bit of energy, you can head out to Rise and Climb Adventure Course where everyone, big and small, can enjoy obstacle courses and zip-lining.
