Agawa Canyon Fall Foliage Train Tours

What people are asking about Agawa Canyon Fall Foliage Tour?

• What is the Agawa Canyon Tour Train?

  A day excursion 183 km north from Sault Ste. Marie into a canyon the road does not reach. You get 90 minutes on the canyon floor before the run back — about ten hours in all. It is the reason most fall routes go this far north.

• When does the colour peak?

  Late September into early October, though the peak shifts about a week either way depending on the year. The train season runs from August into mid-October, and the late-September departures sell out earliest.

• Where do these tours depart from?

  Toronto, on every route. Some also pick up in Mississauga. The train itself departs from Sault Ste. Marie, which the tour reaches by coach on the way up.

• Can the departure date be changed?

  Not on train dates. Tours including the Agawa Canyon Tour Train are built around a fixed train booking, so the departure day is set. Routes without the train have more flexibility.

• How much walking is involved?

  You stay seated for most of the train day. At the canyon floor the walking is optional — the lookout climb is 300 steps and can be skipped. The coach days involve short stops rather than hikes.
