You can add a fall chairlift ride to any reservation for Kelso Main Gate during park hours on chairlift operating days.

There’s so much to do at Kelso besides admiring nature’s beauty. The conservation area has an extensive network of trails that can be used for hiking or mountain biking.

You can also stroll along the boardwalk around the lake, rent a canoe, kayak, paddleboat, or stand-up paddleboard, and enjoy an afternoon at the lifeguarded beach.

If you really want to make the most of the season, you can hit up all of the best lookout spots in Ontario for autumn views and also admire the colours on a train ride this fall.

You can purchase your chairlift tickets online in advance and pick them up at The West Lodge inside the conservation area.

Enjoy the view, friends!
