Lake Muskoka

Lake Muskoka, just a 2 hour drive from Toronto, is located between Port Carling and Gravenhurst, smack dab in the heart of the Muskoka’s.
 
With over 2.1 million visitors annually, it is no wonder Muskoka (aka Cottage Country), was ranked #1 for best trips by National Geographic (2011), and the #1 most searched Canadian destination for vacation rentals (2017). 
 
Rock in the Muskoka’s has been dated back as far back as 1.5 billion years.
 
For over 10,000 years, First Nations, including the Anishinaabeg inhabited this area.
 
Muskoka is named after the Chippawa First Nations chief of the 1850's, Chief Yellowhead or Mesqua Ukie or Musquakie, who used the area as a hunting grounds.
 
Lake Muskoka offers water activities by the boatload (sorry couldn't resist) including canoeing, sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, waterskiing, and fishing.
