Muskoka Town & City Reviews

Described as the 'sixth Great Lake', the Georgian Bay is separated from Lake Huron by Manitoulin Island and the Bruce Peninsula. Almost the size of Lake Ontario, the Bay has a combination of terrains. The west shore is limestone, the northeastern shores consist of rock from the Precambrian shield (some of the oldest rocks in the world) and the south is an array of smooth, sandy beaches. It lies halfway between Toronto and Sault Ste. Marie

In autumn, as the sun sets on the granite rocks of the Canadian Shield, the earth glows red. This is the Muskoka Lakes Region, which loosely translated from the Algonquin native language means "the land of red earth." Muskoka is one of Canada's greatest treasures, lying just two hours north of Toronto, Ontario. Muskoka has been a popular summer vacation destination for over a century. The area is spotted with dozens of resorts, lodges, cottages and private summer residences, as well as tourist attractions and recreation.
