🌿 Golden Leaves & Fireside Fun by Algonquin — Trails, Tower Views & S’mores
Details
This event is for women in their late 20s to 40s who enjoy adventure, meaningful company, and a mix of hiking, nature, and cozy gathering by the fire. It’s a full-day outing to relax, explore, and share warm moments together.
### ✨ Main Stops
🌲 The Tree Museum
This is not a “museum” in the traditional sense — it’s a forest walk where nature meets art. Along winding trails you’ll come across hidden sculptures - little surprises tucked between the trees. Some are older and weathered, which makes it feel like stumbling onto forgotten treasures in the woods. It’s part hike, part curiosity walk — the kind of place that sparks wonder.
🍁 Dorset Lookout Tower
One of Ontario’s most iconic fall views. The tower rises 30 metres above Lake of Bays, giving a sweeping panorama of fiery fall colors stretching as far as the eye can see. It’s a top Instagram spot every autumn — and in person, even more breathtaking. You’ll also find short trails around the lookout for more perspectives (lots of photo stops!).
🔥 Fireside Gathering
After our explorations, we’ll head to a secret outdoor spot for a real fireside time. We’ll roast hot dogs, toast marshmallows for gooey s’mores, and sip hot chocolate together. It’s the perfect cozy finish to a day of movement and discovery.
