Ontario Fall Trip Advisory: Tips for road trips this Fall in Ontario

The fall season is here in Ontario and the time is right – for an autumn fall color road trip. September and October fall trips can be the most enjoyable. Autumn travel can be a colorful experience. However, sitting in your vehicle for long periods of time is not good for your circulation. The combination of a sedentary drive and only eating fast foods, is not healthy, especially for the elderly.


When you're on the road this fall, don't leave fitness at home. Take regular breaks to walk and feel the crunch of fall leaves, explore, bike and play along the way. Bend over and pick up fall leaves and look closely at the colours. Physical activity is not only good for your heart, but also helps drivers feel more alert and makes kids less restless, calmer and more likely to sleep well. Challenge the kids to a scavenger hunt for the best colored maple leaf.

  • Explore a roadside attraction with picnic tables beside a river or stream
  • Plan to hike a nature trail, take the appropriate shoes, extra pants, hat, sun screen
  • Bring your bikes—mountain bikes for off road riding in fall can be refreshing
  • Look into public beaches, or lakeside walking trails not too far from the major highways
  • Take a camera, extra batteries, extra discs—you don't want to miss the perfect fall color (colour) shot
  • Take your binoculars as there are many birding and wildlife viewing opportunities in the fall or simply get a close up on the autumn scenery and
  • Bring plastic bags in case you want to take home the perfect fall colours with a maple leaf, or other favorite autumn leaves
  • Stop at a travel information centre and make sure you have the local maps to keep you on track during your fall foliage tour
  • Take bottles of water to avoid dehydration
  • Try some local foods and produce at a farmers' market, or country fair not just fast foods
  • For the kids take a football, soccer ball, balls and gloves, butterfly net
  • Attend a fall fair or a fall studio tour along your fall drive north
  • When travelling with pets who have medical problems or are sensitive to allergies please check in advance local veterinarian services in case of emergency.
