Collingwood autumn hiking trip is definitely a must-do nature route for outdoor enthusiasts! This time I chose the Eleventh Line Trail. On a rainy early autumn day, I felt the tranquility of the earth when the temperature turned cool. Along the way, I not only felt the simplicity of the natural forest, but also an unexpected little blessing - the brightly colored bird house hanging on the head of the dead tree, full of wildness, waiting for you to take pictures!
🌲 Trip Highlights:
Eleventh Line Trail perfectly blends daily exercise and natural healing, in addition to rivers and lakes, dense forests, autumn dead trees and bushes along the way, overcast and rainy days make the whole atmosphere more tranquil and healing. If you love walking trails, you will enjoy this forest bath, whether it is a morning walk or mountaineering exercise!

🧗♀️ Real insights & itinerary tips
The feeling of climbing here is really soothing, rainy and cloudy days are not afraid of crowds, the whole trail is quiet and comfortable, breathing the air with the fragrance of soil and fallen leaves, the spirit naturally better! If you are afraid of getting wet you can wear a waterproof jacket and hiking shoes; there are some small trees, dead trees, etc. around the Trail, easy to get wet and slippery, be careful under your feet!
☕ Surrounding food/drinking water suggestions
The trail itself doesn’t have many shops, so it’s recommended to bring your own water and energy snacks. If you want to end up with a nearby Chill, consider returning to Collingwood Town Center and we recommend trying Grandma's Beach Treats (208 Hume St, Collingwood, ON), which offers home made desserts and warm little drinks for a special fall and winter feel.
🚗 Transportation guide
From Collingwood Town Centre, it only takes about 10 minutes to drive/rent a bike to the starting point of the Eleventh Line. There are simple roadside parking grids around the Trail, and since the attraction is quieter and less crowded, you don’t have to worry about not being able to find a parking space on weekends.
