Orillia and Lake Country: Find Fall Close to Home

Autumn in Orillia and Lake Country (Orillia, Oro-Medonte, Severn and Rama First Nation) is a celebration of vibrant fall colours, crisp fresh air and unforgettable outdoor adventures.

As the forests transform into brilliant shades of red, orange and gold, the region invites visitors to explore scenic backroads by car or bicycle, paddle the calm waters of Lake Couchiching, Lake Simcoe and the Trent-Severn Waterway, fish in peaceful surroundings, or simply soak in the beauty of the season. For those who prefer to stay on land, an extensive network of hiking and cycling trails winds through colourful forests, or take in the rolling hills and breathtaking views at an outdoor nordic spa.
