There are still plenty of festivals, events and colours to enjoy in these last few weeks of the fall. Celebrating the Trails lists a range of cottage country events across the Haliburton Highlands, Kawarthas, Hastings County and Prince Edward County. Hike Haliburton has a list of trails and the schedule for the Hike Haliburton weekend.

Renting a cottage at this time of year is great value, so make the most of a midweek or weekend break. You can check October availability here and get some ideas on what to do in the area you want to visit, as well.
