While it’s not yet officially Fall (September 22 gets that honour), the cooler nights, shorter days and changing leaf colours signal that the change in seasons is not far off. It’s a beautiful time to visit Muskoka – the busy-ness of summer has subsided but the weather is still warm enough for hiking, biking, boating and swimming.

It’s also a time to celebrate the Fall harvest at one of our region’s annual Fall Fairs. With everything from horse shows and tractor pulls to artists and local growers, a fall fair is an excellent way to glimpse the diversity of rural life in Muskoka. Here are the local fairs happening in September:

Whether you choose to take in a Fall Fair or not, the Fall colors are worth a visit to Muskoka all on their own. Mother Nature follows her own calendar so be sure to check the Fall Colour Reports for Muskoka and Algonquin Park before you head out. And if you’ve ever wondered why the leaves change colour, check out this article by HuntsvilleAdventures.com.

We hope you’ll come to visit us this month, particularly if you’ve never experienced Fall in Muskoka. It’s an amazing sight! You can view the availability of our waterfront cottages here.

Happy Travelling,
