fall colors started yet (not fishing)

[rob v]

My wife and I are planning to spend the weekend in huntsville this weekend and hope to take a drive/hike through parts of algonquin or arrowehead provincial park. According to the ontario parks website the colors are just nicely getting started (40-45% color changed). I know there's people on this board from that area - will this weekend (sept 22) be too early ? or should I wait another week and go the weekend of the 29th ? Any first hand knoweldge /current condition info would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

I'd give it another week. There is a bit of colour, but more to come for sure.

Just came back and I'm not sure I'd say 40-45%. Some areas (further east) were coming out and don't imagine much change in a day or two. We had near freezing temps on Sat which probably started the process. Also not sure how dynamic it will be since it's been a relatively dry summer.

From North Bay and up things are getting quite colourful, but south of Callander (where I am), things are just getting started. The last weekend in Sept. should be primo.

thanks guys - looks like I'll wait another week. weather isn't supposed to be so good this weekend anyways. I was just a bit worried about things happening too fast/early (season for just about everything is early and short this year).

Just starting here in Haliburton. No real colour yet.

Up towards temiskaming the colors are getting quite dramitic... Add in tonights 0 degree temps and they'll be in full wilt mode.

I live in Baysville and work for the local Township which takes me around Dwight, Dorset and Baysville every day and 40% seems way off I would have guessed25-30%. At least 2 weeks until better than 50% would be my guess.
