In the Parry Sound region, the colour is at peak, along highway 124 and along highway 69, north of the town. The colour is now just past peak in the northern Muskoka and northern Haliburton regions. The southern Muskoka and Haliburton regions have the colours at peak. The area is experiencing beautiful pockets of deep red, orange and yellow.
The Barrie, Huronia region across to Collingwood and the Blue Mountain area to Owen Sound and south of Meaford into the Beaver Valley area, the colours are at peak. Ideal viewing locations, in the central region of Ontario, include the Fire Tower Lookout in Dorset, Lions Lookout in Huntsville, the Horseshoe Valley area north east of Barrie, the Ridge Road region east of Barrie taking in the hamlets of Oro Station, Shanty Bay and Hawkestone, as well as the lookouts at Scenic Caves in Collingwood.
The Owen Sound region and in particular the Inglis Falls area and across to the beautiful Beaver Valley, the colour is at peak. The drive into the Beaver Valley from Grey County Road 4, in the south, is outstanding during the fall. There are some nice pockets of bright orange and red in the area. The Hockley Valley area across to Caledon is featuring peak colour, with some nice beautiful pockets of burnt orange and yellow. The Elora Gorge and Fergus area is offering peak colour.
