Muskoka at a Glance
In the Algonquin language, Muskoka translates to "the land of red earth", describing
the billion-year-old granite that blankets the region. Situated just a 90-minute
drive from Toronto, this
region shoulders the Georgian
Bay on the west and Algonquin
Park on the east and is encompassed by water interspersed with many small
islands, making it Ontario's premiere cottage destination. Waterfalls,
wildlife and towering pines are all characteristic of the Muskoka experience,
but a feast of activities and attractions appeal to all interests. A year-round
destination, Muskoka offers something for everyone, including an abundance of
colourful antique shops, close to two-dozen championship golf
courses, over 2,000 km (1,243 mi) of groomed snowmobile trails, a vibrant
art community, several historically significant attractions
and much more. This area welcomes over one million visitors each year who come
from all areas of the globe to experience Muskoka from the bow of a boat, the
seat of a bicycle or the tread of their own shoes.
