Come Experience Owl’s Head in Autumn

A splendid new season is settling into the Eastern Townships: Your Guide to Fall Activities

The kids are back in school, pumpkin lattes have made a comeback, and the nights are getting cooler — all tell-tale signs that autumn is about to make its reappearance. With the arrival of fall comes a breathtaking explosion of color, as our mountain is already starting to don its most beautiful shades. To celebrate this magical season, we’ve put together a schedule full of seasonal activities to partake in with the whole family.

Family Hiking

What could be better than a beautiful family photo at the summit, surrounded by the orange hues of the maple trees? Your four-legged companions are also welcome to join you on a hike, as long as they’re kept on a leash at all times. Our hiking trails are free to access and suitable for all skill levels.

Pro tip: Be sure to bring good athletic shoes and a water bottle for your comfort and safety.

Here’s a list of trails accessible from the Owl’s Head parking lot:

L’Échappée (Intermediate) – This one is perfect for those looking for a peaceful path. At 1.2 km long, it’s very family-friendly and easy to weather.
Abénakis-Maçonnique (Intermediate) – If you’re up for a slightly longer, but still manageable hike, this 2 km linear trail offers you a workout in the peaceful shade of the forest.
Chalet (Advanced) – Designed for more experienced hikers, this 3.2 km loop offers stunning views from the summit.
