FALL
The Highlands in colour - your most beautiful escape yet
Dates:
September to November
Fall at Bonnie View Inn brings cooler evenings, changing leaves, and some of the most scenic views of the year in the Haliburton Highlands. As the forests surrounding Kashagawigamog Lake shift into autumn colours, the resort becomes a peaceful destination for couples’ getaways, fall retreats, group gatherings, and midweek escapes.
Guests spend their days exploring scenic drives, hiking nearby trails, visiting local shops and cafés, or enjoying time on the lake before the season changes. Canoes, kayaks, pedal boats, and other waterfront activities remain available through much of the fall season, allowing guests to continue enjoying the lakefront experience alongside the autumn scenery.
Crisp mornings, outdoor fires, waterfront sunsets, and the quieter pace of the season make fall one of the most relaxing times to experience Bonnie View Inn.
