Explore the Hills of Headwaters

Great Fall Drives
Spectacular Fall Colours

The Hills of Headwaters, just steps outside Toronto’s back door, is replete with some truly wonderful places to visit – settlements such as Erin, Hockley Village, Belfountain, Shelburne, Bolton and Orangeville boast some fabulous events, things to see and people to meet. The routes to them all are well maintained and easy to find. And the fall colours that provide the backdrop are indeed spectacular. With our many country roads and the rolling terrain provided by the Niagara Escarpment any back-road route will deliver an impressive fall show.

Parks & Trails

The region’s many conservation areas, parks and trails provide the perfect destination point for a great fall drive. Pack a picnic lunch, or treat yourself at a country tearoom or restaurant. Our hamlets and villages are also great stops. Take some time to stroll the heritage downtowns; each with boutique shops, art galleries and coffee shops to explore.

Art in the Hills

Fall in the Hills of Headwaters celebrates the Arts like no other time of year. Plan your fall drive to coincide with one of many studio tours and arts events or book in advance theatre tickets for a professional live performance at Theatre Orangeville paired with a scenic tour on the Credit Valley Explorer Tour Train.
