With its countless lakes, charming towns and villages, and its proud history of boat-building, with grand resorts, quaint inns, and Olde Muskoka Cottage charm, it is place for families to play, for artists to find inspiration and is, at heart, a land of dreams and hopes. A world-class playground destination set in the Muskoka Lakes Region, this area boasts spectacular Precambrian granite rock formations, hundreds of pristine lakes and majestic towering pines. Its natural beauty and breath-taking scenery make this area renown as the very best in cottage country. Enjoy the hot days of summer swimming, scuba-diving, sailing, kayaking and canoeing in crystal clear water, or spend the day playing world-class golf. The magical wintertime draws out snowmobilers, cross-country and downhill skiers, while many cottagers get cozy by the fireside. Our urban centres offer every amenity, including outstanding culinary experiences, and all the best our vibrant cultural and artistic communities have to offer. Muskoka has been a desirable Cottage destination for more than a century. Founded by Free Grants and Homestead Act, its first residents were immigrants from Europe who struggled to farm the land but it was more suited to logging and wooden boat-building, which became its major industries.
