Park : Algonquin Report Date : 25/09/2010
Dominant Colour : Orange/Red Percentage of colour change : 80-89 %
Percentage of leaf fall : 0-9 %
Good Places for viewing : Trails with good views of maple colour include: (starting from km 0) Hardwood Lookout km 13.8 Track and Tower km 25 Centennial Ridges 2 km south from km 37.6 Lookout Trail km 39.7 Booth's Rock 9km south from km 40.4 & the Highway 60 corridor Enjoy the view! Note: Visitors have observed the early colour change and leaf fall of the White Birch (Betula papyrifera). The yellow-brown colour observed throughout the Highway 60 Corridor and over wide areas of the Park is likely caused by the Birch Skeletonizer (Bucculatrix canadensisella). The Birch Skeletonizer is native species of moth and is part of a natural cycle of insect outbreaks. This premature leaf fall of White Birch leaves can result in the slower growth for the trees affected but essentially no mortality is observed. The last large outbreak of Birch Skeletonizer in Algonquin Park was in September 2003.
Hardwood Lookout Trail is a 0.8 km trail introducing you to the ecology of a typical Algonquin hardwood forest and culminates in a fine view of Smoke Lake and the surrounding hills.
