Here are 5 small towns near Toronto to visit this fall.
Gravenhurst
There are few places in Ontario more beautiful than Muskoka in the fall, and Gravenhurst serves as the gateway to this rugged playground. Nestled on Lake Muskoka, this is where steamships like the Segwun depart to explore the pristine lakes of the region. It is absolutely stunning here in the fall.
Aberfoyle
The Antique Market in Aberfoyle is a vintage-lover's dream, and there's no better time to check it out than autumn, when the picturesque farmland around Wellington County turns orange and gold. Be sure to also make stops in quaint towns like Elora and Fergus while you're in the area.
Kitchener-Waterloo
This is where the party is at every fall in Ontario, when Oktoberfest brings tens of thousands of people out to celebrate Bavarian culture and, let's be frank, drink an absolute ton of beer. In between downing steins and devouring sausages, the surrounding area is also gorgeous to explore in the midst of fall colours.
Wellington
Prince Edward County pretty much has it all in the fall. From gorgeous scenery to antique markets to winery tastings, the region is a veritable autumn wonderland. But don't forget the pumpkins. Wellington plays host to one of the biggest pumpkin fests of the year every fall, which means you should check it out as well as Picton.
Collingwood
The towering hills of Grey County are electric come the fall, offering stunning vistas above Georgian Bay. Along with the landscape, the area is packed with fall friendly activities, from outdoor spas, apple trails, to some of the best cycling in the province.
