Check out this Must-See Fall Colours Scenic Drive.
Well here we are. It is October already!! Wow! The fall colours are here in all their brilliant splendor. We have been driving around Simcoe, Grey, and Bruce Counties, enjoying all the bits and pieces of our little piece of our own heavenly area, and areas a short distance away.
You Might Enjoy Some of the Places We’ve Found
- The Fishing Islands on Lake Huron, which are quickly becoming the non-fishing, non-islands. We were there and could just about walk to them. If the water was not soooo cold we would have. Someone drove their jeep right through the water, so it can’t be that deep.
- We also were checking out the salmon jumping up and over the Sauble Falls. Wow! Now that is cool. The power and determination these fish have is incredible. They must have a real keen built in GPS system. God designed them well. There is a lot of water running over the falls right now.
- We also checked out the Corran Ruins at Spirit Rock, just outside of Wiarton. The ruins are really interesting . . . the size of the cut stone they used and how heavy the stone must have been. They also did not have the equipment that we have today to do all the heavy lifting. Also what was really interesting was the steel spiral stair case the led us down over the cliffs. We were about 150-200 feet above the Bay at Wiarton. Look for the video on our website under current videos on the right side of this page.

You Won’t be Disappointed With The Scenery
I promise you that it is one of the most beautiful fall colours driving tours in all of southern/central Ontario. There are many great places and attractions to stop at and take a look at along the way. Most important, remember your camera and or video camera. You’ll really enjoy the scenery and driving through the beautiful hills.
It is a VERY scenic drive. You will pass through Clearview township, Town of the Blue Mountains, Artemesia, Osprey, and other townships in Bruce, Grey, and Simcoe counties.
