Good hiking in Muskoka?

[siwash]

Hey folks,

 

Our outdoor club is planning a hike in Muskoka in the second week of Oct with our school (just north of Toronto). I have a couple of spots that I am considering, including Strawberry Point lookout, the Bracebridge Resource management Centre or Wilson's Falls. We might even hike two trails in they are short. We're going up for the day. I would like a scenic hike with moderate difficulty. Colours are a must!

 

I would greatly appreciate any help!!

 

Thanks folks!

2. Hardy Lake Trails on HWY 169 between Bala and Gravenhurst

 

3. Canada Trail near Coopers Falls

 

4. Ganaraska Trail Wilderness section at end of Black River road from Coopers Falls, you need a map and GPS as this is wilderness.

 

5. Stop at Muskoka Info place on HWY 11 between Washago and Gravenhurst. Ask for Muskoka trails info booklet.

+1 for Torrance Barrens. Really unique spot with areas that resemble the tundra of the Artic. Should be a good spot for fall colours too.
