Things To Do in Muskoka

 

Whether you’re a cottager or a vacationer – or even live here year-round – you’ll find no end of fun things to do in Muskoka

 

Muskoka Ontario certainly has a lot going for it. Not only is it one of Canada‘s top places for outdoors adventure – largely thanks to its proximity to Algonquin Provincial Park – it also boasts more fun things to do than most vacation destinations of its size.

Whether your idea of a great time is exploring Muskoka by land – cottage country is crisscrossed by countless great hiking and biking trails – or by exploring its endless rivers and lakes by canoe or kayak, you’ll never run exciting experiences in this region of outstanding natural beauty.

Even if you prefer the tamer (but equally stunning) scenery of a golf course, you’re spoiled for choice. Muskoka offers some of the very best golfing experiences to be had anywhere, with some 30 courses taking full advantage of the region’s rugged natural setting as a backdrop.
