According to Friends of Algonquin Park, now is the time to experience the best sugar maple fall colour viewing of the season.
They say that the maples have increased their intensity to what many believe will be their peak colour.
High winds forecasted for early next week are expected to increase leaf fall.
Brighter leaf colour will mean a busy weekend with visitors. Those travelling to the Park to see colors are advised to Plan ahead.
Fall colour is subject to numerous environmental variables such as daylight length, moisture, temperature, frost, wind, heavy rain, etc., so the exact peak of fall colour is difficult to determine in advance.
High winds, rain, or even snow can sometimes quickly result in fragile leaves being knocked off the trees increasing what is called leaf fall.
See here for when the best fall colour is expected for different species and details about planning your fall trip to Algonquin Park.
