2015 Grey County Fall Colour Report

Published Date:

The changing of the leaves is upon us in Grey County and we want to keep you posted on the fall colour progression.  It's hard to predict exactly when the colours will be at their peak, but hopefully this report will be helpful in showing you how things are looking here and you can plan your visit accordingly.  Our friends at Owen Sound Flight Services have offered to provide us with aerial photography over the next few weeks to show the colours as they change.
You can also check the Ontario Fall Colour Progression Report and the Ontario Parks Fall Colour Report.

The colours have been really good at keeping us waiting this year, but I think it's finally here!  This photo was taken over the Leith area, just northeast of Owen Sound and its showing some nice red colour.  We are reporting 70-80% colour change this week and we expect the colours to peak this weekend - just in time for Thanksgiving.  So make sure you get out for a drive or hike to enjoy fall's beautiful show!

The colours are changing fast!  Although this photo isn't quite as 'bright' as the previous week, you can see the variation in the colour of the trees around Bass Lake.  We are reporting a 40-50% colour change in the area, and we expect that the colours will peak over the next week. This is the perfect time for a fall drive.

Pretty much right on cue, we are starting to see some patches of awesome colour change in the area.  This photo was taken over the Williamsford area and shows a marshland that has already transformed into it's fall attire.  We are reporting about 25-30% colour change.

As you can see things are still pretty green in the area.  This photo was taken over Collingwood and shows very little change in the leaves thus far.  We are experiencing cool nights and warm, sunny days so we should see some colour change soon!  We are reporting a 15% colour change.

Lake Eugenia in fall

Lake Eugenia is Grey County's largest inland lake and provides excellent paddling. There are canoe, kayak & motorboat rentals available at Cedars of Lake Eugenia, and canoe rentals are included for guests renting cottages there. There is some great fishing within the lake!

The Saugeen River canoe route begins in the Town of Hanover and heads west to Lake Huron. Though it flows through agricultural areas, these are only visible occasionally through the forests, which line the bank of the river.
