Although we are firmly within the dog days of summer, autumn is just around the bend and quickly approaching. Within a matter of weeks, the green-covered canvas of Muskoka will make way for rust-coloured hues of amber and orange, just in time for leaf peepers everywhere. As cooler temperatures become more commonplace, morning fog will linger into the afternoon, and you may find a bit of frost within the forest shadows before sunrise. Embedded within the heart of this autumn splendour, residing on the beautiful shores of Gloucester Pool, Severn Lodge, Muskoka’s premier all-inclusive family resort, is the perfect place for a fall getaway in Ontario.
