Fall temperatures average between 13–20°C. The autumn colours throughout Oshawa are an attractive camping backdrop at Darlington Provincial Park and Heber Down Conservation Area, as well. Winter camping is possible with average temperatures around -2° to 0°C, especially for snowshoeing. But trails are generally not maintained during the winter months, and some camp facilities may not be in operation.
