Fall Experiences
Follow the colour through the backroads and quiet corners of Lennox & Addington.
The driving routes in the north of the county, particularly around Bon Echo Provincial Park and the Addington Highlands, offer the best views on the Canadian Shield in fall. These self-guided tours highlight the contrast between exposed granite rock faces and vibrant autumn foliage during the peak October weeks.
Autumn in Lennox & Addington is a season of transition that brings the region’s agricultural roots and rugged geography into sharper focus. As the maples turn along the shoreline and the oaks deepen in the north, the county draws in those who time their trips by the conditions and prefer roads without crowds. The heritage of the region is most visible now, from the dry stone walls on Amherst Island to the historic mills that once powered these communities. It is a time for slow travel, where the reward is the lack of crowds and the authenticity of a local harvest.
