The Best Fall Drives Around Lake Muskoka, Rosseau

White’s Falls Road

To find this road, you will have to exit off Highway 400. This stretch has plenty of marshland, forest, and fall leaves. In addition to nature, you can also travel down to the Big Chute Marine Railway.

Highway 141

Specifically, we want to highlight the part of Highway 141 that is between Utterson and Rosseau. This is a beautiful section of the road because it will allow you to see Lake Rosseau and Skeleton Lake.

Muskoka Road 10

To find this one, you will exit off Highway 11 and head towards Port Sydney. So highlights of this drive are Mary Lake, Port Sydney Chute, and more of the Muskoka River. Another reason to get on this road is that it is home to plenty of maple syrup farms. This means there will be a lot of bright red sugar maples.
