Port Burwell Provincial Park
Open until October 26, 2025
Wait until you see this beach — it’s one of Lake Erie’s best for a reason!
Birders, get your life lists ready! This park is a migration hotspot in the fall. Catch a glimpse of hawks, eagles and Turkey Vultures as they make their way south for the winter.
Rock Point Provincial Park
Open until October 26, 2025
If you haven’t quite had enough of summer, Rock Point might be your dream destination!
Their delayed fall colours mean you can have one last taste of the summer heat before diving headfirst into fall.
Relax on their 1 km natural sand/pebble beach or take a hike!
The Woodlot Trail guides you through a variety of forest and wetland communities including Carolinian, Oak Savanna, and old farm fields that are slowly being reclaimed by the forest.
Sibbald Point Provincial Park
Open until October 27, 2025
Sibbald Point stuns in hues of gold and purples in the fall.
You heard that right — amongst the regular burnt oranges and browns emerge the stunning hues of goldenrod and asters. These wildflowers start blooming in August in this part of Ontario, painting the landscape throughout autumn.
Enjoy this usually busy park at a slower pace, where you can spot elusive animals such as Red Fox, White-tailed Deer, and Wild Turkeys.
Don’t forget to check out the Eildon Hall Museum, open every Saturday from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm until Thanksgiving.
Rondeau Provincial Park
Open until November 9, 2025
If you’ve missed out on booking a camping trip during the fall colour season farther north, you may not be out of luck!
Rondeau sits in Ontario’s Carolinian Zone.
Colours in this region often reach their peak weeks later than those in central Ontario. For the best fall show, book a site in mid-October.
Rondeau is also the perfect place to witness the spectacular migration of Monarch Butterflies.
Butterflies gather at Rondeau as they feed on fall wildflowers to fuel their journey south.
Visit the park during their Monarch Migration Festival on September 14, or stroll the shoreline on a quiet weekday to catch a glimpse of their orange and black colours.
