Start the car, friends. If you’re on the hunt for the ultimate fall drive, look no further than the The Forks of the Credit scenic route.
Located in Caledon just 30 minutes outside of Toronto, this road is close to home but the captivating scenery will make you feel like you’re somewhere far away.
The road is full of twists and turns through lush forested canopies that belong in a storybook.
With the rushing Credit River on one side and the majestic Niagara Escarpment on the other, you will want to slow down to fully appreciate the sights.
And you may have no choice but to drive slowly as this road tends to get busy during this time of year.
There’s so much to see and do in the area too, including Forks of the Credit Provincial Park.
Running through the park is the famous Bruce Trail and the atmosphere is so serene that you will feel a world away from the city.
The spot is popular for hiking, fishing, picnicking, and of course, marvelling at the majestic waterfall.
Also nearby is the Belfountain Conservation Area, featuring a suspension bridge above a waterfall, and trails along freshwater springs and limestone cliffs.
