MUSKOKA - Land of Lakes
Muskoka ON Canada is located 1 1/2 hours north of Toronto, is blessed with
approx 1600 crystal clear lakes, amazing waterfalls and granite cliffs,
aromatic pine forests and dense maple forests that turn crimson and gold in the
Autumn...all wrapped in pure clean air from way above sea level, in some places
1296 ft.
The 2500 square miles called Muskoka District is the size of a small European
country and is flanked on the North by the world famous untouched wilderness of
Algonquin Provincial Park and on the west by rugged Georgian Bay, the way to the
Great Lakes and the Ocean.
Muskoka is made up of the regions of Bracebridge, Georgian Bay Township,
Gravenhurst, Huntsville, Lake of Bays Township ( Dorset ) and Muskoka Lake
Township ( Bala , Port Carling ) liberally sprinkled with picturesque villages
and towns, pioneer farming communities and grand lakeside vacation hotels and
family resorts close to golf courses, tennis courts and historic walking trails.
In all of this unique space although there are only 50,312 permanent residents
of Muskoka there are an additional 99,936 seasonal property owners.
The most populous area is the Muskoka Lakes Township which contains, Lake
Muskoka, Lake Rosseau and Lake Joseph. Because they are large interconnecting
bodies of water in some places over 300 feet deep they were the first Lakes
explored,
Lake Muskoka boasts a stretch of shoreline that is called Millionaires Row or
Little Pittsburgh because many of the lavish summer estate owners were American.
Many of the permanent residents are artists, musicians and craftsmen.
