If you’re not from Northern Ontario, this park will be a bit of a road trip located in Massey, Ontario, between Sault Ste Marie and Sudbury.

Chutes Provincial Park is centred around two beautiful waterfalls, surrounded by the stunning colours of fall once the season begins to change.

To get to the two sets of falls you’ll need to follow the Twin Bridges Trail.

This trail is six km return and will take hikers about two hours to complete. Don’t worry, the views are worth it!

According to Ontario Parks, “Following the Aux Sables River this trail leads to lookouts at the falls and the Seven Sisters Cataracts. Interpretive panels at the Falls Lookout tell the history of the area. There is an interpretive trail guide available.”

The main falls have a large viewing deck right above the falls itself. Fall is the best time of year to visit this spot as the changing colours of the forest “reflect in the many rock pools and quiet sections of the river.”

Visitors will have to pay the day rate when entering starting at $12.25.

Kick off fall with some beautiful sights, Ontario!
