Experience Fall Colours in Muskoka on Sparrow Lake

Bayview Wildwood Resort sits on Sparrow Lake in Severn Bridge, just past Orillia off Highway 11 in the Muskoka area. In autumn, changing leaves frame the lake and surrounding forest, while Bayview’s trails, shoreline and Canadian Shield landscape give guests several ways to experience fall colours right from the resort. Fall colour timing changes from year to year, but the best viewing in Muskoka is typically during the last two weeks of September and the first two weeks of October. Check the current fall colour report before your trip for the latest conditions.

ON-SITE TRAILS

Hike Through Muskoka’s Fall Colours

Explore Old Joe’s Trail and Beaver Lake Trail, two on-site hiking trails that remain open year-round. Walk through forest, rocky Canadian Shield terrain and lakeside scenery as autumn colour moves through the landscape around Sparrow Lake. Cooler temperatures and mostly bug-free fall conditions make this one of the most comfortable times to explore.

ON THE WATER

Go Fall Fishing on Sparrow Lake

Northern pike, largemouth bass and smallmouth bass are among the popular species caught here. Guests can bring their own boat to dock on-site or explore Bayview’s dedicated fall fishing getaway.

COOL-WEATHER OPTIONS

Cooler or rainy fall days do not have to end the getaway. Bayview’s indoor recreation includes the indoor pool, games room, fitness area and Bayview Treehouse indoor playground, giving guests options away from the trails and shoreline.
