Fall is knocking on Ottawa’s door!

The leaves are starting to turn, and the city’s parks are about to explode with reds, oranges, and golds.

Grab your coat, your camera, and someone you love, and head to a nearby park to chase the fall colours. Wander under the beautiful trees, listen to the crisp air, and let the season slow you down for a bit.

Perfect spots to start:

• Gatineau Park (Champlain Lookout, Pink Lake trails)
• Central Experimental Farm
• Rideau Canal pathways
• Mooney’s Bay or Hog’s Back Park

Peak colours around Ottawa usually hit late September to early October, so start planning your leaf-peeping now.
