FALL COLOUR REPORT
As of Monday September 30, 2002
Fall colour is currently rated at about 90% along the western half of Highway 60. In the eastern half, as is usually the case, colour development is slightly behind and is rated at about 75%. The remainder of this week and into this coming weekend should provide peak viewing conditions for the spectacle of fall colours in Algonquin Park.
Visitors planning a trip to the Park, however, should be aware that any trip over the next few weeks will be rewarding. Although maple colour will begin to diminish in the next week or so, the yellow of aspens and the reddish-brown of oaks will progress, followed slightly later by the golden yellow of tamaracks.
Check back with us for regular updates on how things are progressing.
Summer may be the most usual time for a visit to Algonquin but autumn is probably the best time. The fall colours alone make a trip worthwhile, especially if you catch the maples at their peak in the last week of September or, occasionally, in the first few days of October. The spectacle of hundreds of square miles of red and golden orange forest, blue lakes and evergreen shores is one that no one should miss. Then, a couple of weeks later, the aspens, the Tamaracks and the red Oaks hit their best and put on another interesting show before giving way to a more subdued November.
There is much more to autumn in Algonquin, however, than the colours. Cool nights and sunny days with no biting insects, make it an ideal time to camp and hike. The woods are still, the horizon stands out sharply across lakes of glass, and for much of the time you'll have large parts of the Park to yourself. Fall evenings are the best time to try howling for wolves. During the day, you'll have a good chance of seeing a big bull moose, its antlers now full-grown and polished, ready for the rut, or mating season, in late September and early October.
Canisbay Lake, Mew Lake, Lake of Two Rivers, and Rock Lake campgrounds remain open until the (Canadian) Thanksgiving weekend (second Monday in October), as do the three lodges in the Parkway Corridor.
Teachers, clubs, and other groups may wish to take advantage of our Group Education Program offered through The Friends of Algonquin Park. Program topics range from plants to wolves, and from early logging history to modern Park management. Programs are available for all age groups from elementary school to the adult level.
On the Park's East Side (near the town of Pembroke), the Achray Campground is open up to, and including, the last Sunday in October. Once the campground is closed, the road to Achray is gated 5km from the campground. The Barron Canyon road is still open, however, (and continues to be through the winter), allowing access to the spectacular Banyon Canyon Trail and to Lake Travers. Ater the last week in October, permits are available at a self-serve fee station at the Sand Lake Gate.
