Arrowhead Provincial Park may be enchanting all year round, but in the autumn, it’s especially spectacular.
Nestled in the heart of Muskoka, Arrowhead is bursting with fall colours, according to its latest Fall Colour Report.
The report says that 100% of its leaves have changed colour, and the dominant hue is red.
Now is the time to see the towering tree canopies in breathtaking shades of crimson.
One of the park’s standout features is the awe-inspiring “Big Bend.”
This geological phenomenon was crafted over countless years by glacial river sediment buildup and erosion. It’s a natural spectacle that leaves visitors in awe!
The Big Bend Lookout Trai is an easy and short walk from the parking lot on Roe Campground Road, and it leads to a panoramic view of this breathtaking sight and surrounding Muskoka woods.
Arrowhead has three sandy beaches on Arrowhead Lake, perfect for swimming and soaking up the sun in the summer.
Arrowhead Lake and Mayflower Lake are also motorboat-free, and you can explore them by paddling in a canoe or kayak.
Hikers will be delighted by the park’s 15 kilometers of trails, including the waterfall hike.
