Route1 on Yahoo Map
Finally, I see the straight sunshine weather forecast for our long weekend trip, which I rank as the most important thing for our trip.
Saddly, Fall Color of Algonquin Park has over its peak since leaf falling has been over 40%; However, hiking path through forest is likely covered by various leavies and may attracts in a different way.
Alternatively, Muskoka area will be in their best time to experience this year's fall color.
Various routes has been suggested on Muskoka tourism wesites (http://www.discovermuskoka.ca). Most these routes are along lakeside, so enjoy the reflection of georgous color on the lake and don't blame me if your wife yell your bad driving!!!

(Google map sucks, doesn't support multiple stops!)
B. Bancroft
Eagle's Nest
A trip to Bancroft is not complete without a visit to the top of the Eagle's Nest for a panoramic view of the York river Valley below. There is a place to park at the top of the steep road that winds its way up to the lookout from Hastings Street North (Highway 62). This view is even more spectacular during the fall colours.
High Falls
High falls Dam regulates the water level of beautiful Baptiste Lake. Take Highway 62 north from Bancroft for 7 kilometres to South Baptiste Lake Road, 2 kilometres west is the High Falls Road, a further 2 kilometres north brings to a 10 metre falls and dam site. It's a great place for picnicking, fishing for pickerel and hiking along riverside trails.
Egan Chute
Egan Chute is off of Highway 28 east, 10 kilometres from Bancroft. The Egan Chute area has recently been designated as a Provincial Park, although it remains undeveloped in a completely natural state. The York River crashes through its steep rock sides with a thundering roar spraying water. Corundum can also be found in occurrences along both sides of the trail leading down (north) to the chute.
From point C to D, we are going to drive along south side of Algonquin park.
From point D to F, it is driving in the heart of Haliburton Highland, with lots of roadside lakes. Can't image what georgeous view will be there.
Stop at G for Buttermill Fall.
Pretty much later for the Day one, let heading to the cottage on point H.
