Some Fall Colour Drives

- Escarpment Road. Less than a kilometre further north of the above Forks of the Credit Road, the Escarpment Road runs east off Highway 10 and is a nice drive to view fall colours.
- Hockley Road. A bit north of Orangeville on Hwy 10, Hockley Road runs west as it twists its' way over to Airport Road.
- Caledon Drive. Take Airport Road north to Hockley Road. Turn east on Hockley Road to Highway 10. Then head south through Orangeville to either or both of The Forks of the Credit Road and/or the Escarpment Road to explore the beautiful fall colours of the region.
- L52F Grey County Magnificent Seven. A long very interesting 150 km all-day drive visiting 7 waterfalls and much fall colour along the way and at the falls.
