A perfect tour for the fall!
Start your day with an early lunch stop at The Big Apple. There is lots of indoor and outdoor seating. You are welcome to bring your own lunch and refreshments or purchase something to eat from their large selection of hot & cold foods, beverages, apple confections and other yummy delights. For a look at The Big Apple's menu, please click here.
After lunch we travel to Presqu'ile Provincial Park for two escorted walks. The first walk will be on the boardwalk trail including a stop at a lookout. The second walk, on a trail that is a bit more challenging and rated as moderate-to-difficult will be through a section of the park called Jobe's Woods. Local tour guide, Peter Brotherhood, will accompany the tour and provide narration and point out key features. The park is famous for its white-tailed deer which can be spotted at anytime of the year and in the fall, at the time of our visit, the beech trees will have turned a shade of golden yellow allowing you to see lots of fall colour.
After Presqu'ile Park we travel to an apple orchard where you will have the opportunity to pick your own fresh apples and bring them home with you. Just to be clear, the apples are not free; you will have to pay for them directly to the farm. :-)
