Thanksgiving Sunday Morning

We've been blessed with a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. Warm and sunny all weekend. Here is another short video of my favourite view from Colonial Bay.

Early Morning Mist

We experienced a little frost last night as the temperatures dipped just below freezing. It made for a neat morning to take pictures at the lake as the cool air temperature and warmer water combine to make a mist over the lake. The Sun was shining from the east and mad the far shore quite spectacular to see. Some guests that were on the dock taking pictures joked that it must be a good morning if the owner is out taking pictures!!

Algonquin Park Colour Peaks This Weekend

This is the Algonquin Park Report from today. The Fall colours in Muskoka will be vibrant for the next week or so as Algonquin Park Peaks before the rest of Muskoka.

Fall Colours Reaching their Peak...

Guests returning from Algonquin Park yesterday and today report seeing some of the most vibrant colours in years. One of our favourite trails in Algonquin is Booth's Rock. It looks like the next few days in Algonquin will be exceptional. Other great places to stop and enjoy Fall; Dorset Fire Tower, Ragged Falls, Lions Lookout - Huntsville (where this picture was taken) and Oxtongue River Rapids.

Algonquin Park's International Appeal

Another spectacular day in Algonquin Park and Muskoka. Not only have we had guests from Ontario this week, we've had visitors from Holland, Belgium, Germany and Florida. As the Fall colours continue to change Colonial Bay will be home for many guests from Europe, and Asia. Our online booking allows guests to book from around the world at their convenience. We recently received bookings from Beijing (the Canadian Olympic Team must have told some people about Muskoka) and Japan.

The Science of Colour

Spectacular Fall Colours

We have seen a significant change in colour during the last few days. Guests driving East along Highway 117 and Highway 60 in Algonquin Park are reporting sections of the forest are turning red and yellow. The best time to see vibrant colour is in the morning when the rising sun is reflecting off the morning dew.
