The Muskoka's
Come play in Ontario's beloved "cottage country" filled with sparkling lakes, dense forests and the rugged beauty of the Canadian Shield. Base yourself at one of Muskoka's famed lakeside resorts and tee up on the area's many golf courses or experience the blissful serenity of sitting on a dock getting lost in the sunset. Enjoy a cruise on the oldest coal-operating steamship in North America as it weaves around pine clad islands. Take part in a wolf howl in Algonquin Provincial Park for a memorable "conversation" with the local inhabitants. In winter, snowmobile, ice fish or cross-country ski in a snowy playground. Plan your next vacation in this bit of heaven in Ontario.
In "cottage country" the attractions go beyond its hundreds of lakes. Tee up on a challenging golf course. Combine a cruise with exploring history or a marine railway ride. And catch remarkable stage productions at local summer theatres.
