HOW ABOUT ONE FINAL FLING BEFORE HIBERNATION?
Autumn in the foothills of the
Algonquin Park region is a time for celebration
!
The bugs are gone, the nights are
cool enough to enjoy roaring campfires,
and the days are crisp and comfortable, with
brilliant blue skies to revive you!
Isn't this year YOUR chance to take a much needed
break from the hectic
pace of life to RELAX and ENJOY the changing seasons? Forget
about all
those cares and worries - indulge yourself in some fresh air for a change!!
EXPLORE by horseback pristine
forests decked out in all their fall splendor
- take pictures - head out for a short hike
through the hardwoods - bask in the
sunshine near one of our area's many lakes or
streams - drop in your line and try some
fishing - and enjoy the brilliance of our
COLORFUL autumn days. What better way
to experience nature's finest & most comfortable season than visiting the Hastings Highlands,
located
just outside the east
gates of Algonquin Park? There's horseback riding right here
at our Riding
Stable, hiking trails throughout the highlands, a wonderful tourist opportunity
right here
at the east gates of Algonquin Provincial Park, and if we can't book you at our four
season cottage this fall, there's many other wonderful places to stay in our area.

Having never visited our area,
you might be wondering - when is the best
time to see the colors, either by horseback,
from the comfortable seat of your car, or on foot?
Peak colors are from
September 15 - November 1! Our first leaves to change are the brilliant
reds and
oranges of our expansive hard maple forests in late September. Then, it's the poplar
and
soft maple forests, adding their vibrant yellow. And last, at the end of
October, when the rest of the
forest is deep in slumber, we have the impressive Tamarack,
the only pine tree to lose it's needles after
shining for weeks with a bright yellow
light. It carpets the trails with color and sends a final
warm glow over the
hillsides in early November, giving us the last glimpse of fall's
splendor before winter
creeps over the hillsides.
