Fall Rhapsody in Ontario is a truly special time. This spectacular display of fall leaf colour is visible all over Ontario. This seasonal show takes place in the months of September and October.

The absolute best time to see fall colours in Ontario is in October. By the end October, leaf fall is significant and if there is heavy rain it can end quickly. The best time to plan your Ontario road trip and see peak fall leaf colours is the beginning of the month of October. Use this guide to help you plan and time your visit to a specific region. Toronto and Niagara Falls tends to be the finale.

Bookmark this page and come back and visit in the fall to plan your ultimate fall colour Ontario road trip.
