Fall has arrived

Nestled between Toronto, Ottawa, Prince Edward County, and Algonquin Park, we're close enough for a quick escape and far enough to feel like a true adventure. Flavoured coffees and sweet treats, breaking out your favourite sweater, strolling around our charming towns and trekking through the trees, we’re the perfect spot waiting for you.

Fall Leaves

Hastings County is a gem all year long, but the reds, oranges, browns and golds of fall are something special. Fall is the perfect time to explore in all forms: by foot, bike, motorcycle, horseback, car and by boat. The colours you find at the top of a lookout spot or reflected on a lake are some of the most breathtaking views you’ll see all year long.

Enjoy the cooler temperatures by exploring our trails through Bancroft’s Eagles Nest, O’Hara Mill Homestead, Nellie Lunn Park, or McGeachie Conservation Area.

Try cycling one of our 23 routes, including our new Ormsby Acres route or get ready for spooky season with our Ghost Town Grind.

If you’re interested in a exhilarating experience, try Bancroft Offroad Tours or TerreMx for a different way to experience fall colours.
