Muskoka
Sites & Attractions
- Muskoka, Canada located 1 1/2 hours north of Toronto is a vast district of 1600 shimmering lakes, thundering waterfalls and sheer 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.
- According to the Algonkin native language, Muskoka is loosely translated as “the land of red earth.” It’s easy to see why. Warm summer sunrises and sunsets bathe the granite rocks of the Canadian shield in a soft red glow and in the autumn, the leaves of the vast hardwood forests turn bright red.
- There are only 50,312 permanent residents of Muskoka
- Orville Wright, one of the famous American brothers who invented the airplane had his cottage in the Georgian Bay part of Muskoka.
