Advance tickets required at Dorset Tower beginning this weekend
A reminder that beginning this Saturday, September 21, advance tickets will be required to visit the Dorset Scenic Lookout Tower, on both weekends and weekdays. You can purchase tickets on the AH Trails website.
The Tower receives thousands of visitors during fall foliage season, so please ensure you have advance tickets so that you are not turned away at the gate.
Here are some other tips for visiting during fall colours:
- The view can make you stop in your tracks ... but if you're driving, please don't! Always find a safe place to pull off and if you see a line-up of traffic behind you, consider pulling off to let others move along.
- Have patience! As the fall colours get better, more people come to see them. Plan ahead, leave plenty of time, and make sure you have drinks and snacks to get you through the inevitable line-ups.
- Be respectful of private property: most land adjacent to the roadways you'll be travelling is privately owned and unless you have been specifically invited by the property owner to visit, please don't do so.
- Keep our lands and waters clean and free of litter and waste.
- Waste containers are not readily available in many locations throughout the area due to wildlife concerns, so be prepared to take your garbage home with you.
- Consider packing a "litterless lunch" - What's better than a picnic, anyway?
- Please leave only footprints and take only memories.
- Public washrooms tend to be privy-style facilities, meaning they're fancy outhouses. They aren't abundant so it's best to freshen up when you can. If you wait to find indoor, flush-style facilities, you're likely to be disappointed.
