Drive south on Mississauga Road from Eglinton, you will enjoy colors.
The road has mature trees and lovely drive though for 10 minutes to QEW
If you really want to enjoy true colors Visit Sau. St Marie. There is train which runs thru the woods. People specially visit that place in fall.

I can think of Bronte Provincial park. Near Burlington / Oakville. Entry fee is charged per vehicle ; about $12. I have been to the park in the summer and it was just beautiful. We now plan to go there over the long weekend and hope it is equally beautiful.
