Fall Colours

Fall in North Bay is a magical time when the landscape bursts into a brilliant palette of autumn colours in September and October, and the crisp air, clear skies, and the serene beauty of the changing leaves make it the perfect season for outdoor adventures.
North Bay offers an unparalleled escape into nature and our picturesque waterfront city becomes a must-visit destination in Fall. With a myriad of things to do outdoors, and unique ways to view the fall colours from the air, water and trails, North Bay is a great place to visit in the fall in Ontario.
