This trip is best done between Wednesday - Saturday. Can be done on a Sunday; however, please bring extra road trip snacks!

This trip is best done from fall - spring! While you can travel in the summertime, note that the waterfalls may slow to a trickle or dry up completely with the hot weather.

We recommend leaving between 9:00 - 9:30 am (or slightly earlier if you’re coming from downtown Toronto).

This trip is somewhat dog-friendly! On each stop, there is an outdoor option that allows dogs.

However, most of our eatery and shop options only allow dogs on seasonal outdoor patios, so we recommend coordinating with the weather. In the wintertime, you will be limited to our outdoor options only if you bring your pup.

We recommend bringing 2 - 5 people on your surprise road trip adventure.
