FALL COLOURS IN ALGONQUIN PARK

Fall is an idyllic time to take a romantic getaway at the Couples Resort and visit Algonquin Park, Muskoka.  Summer has given way to brisk, invigorating autumn air.  Fall days remain long, making it comfortable to stay outside for long periods and to enjoy perfect walking and hiking conditions on an endless system of trails.

Nothing says FALL more than fall colors in Algonquin Park, which is known to have some of the most brilliant changes of season throughout Ontario. Considered a Signature Canadian Experience bringing visitors from around the world, who are attracted by the outstanding fall colour viewing opportunities, but there are many other things to see and do.
