Muskoka at a glance:

Muskoka is considered to be Canada’s oldest and best-known cottage country region, and continues to be popular with vacationers who enjoy water sports, high-end dining, or just sitting on the dock and soaking up the sun. A two-hour drive north of Toronto, Muskoka extends from Georgian Bay in the west, to Lake Couchiching in the south, to Algonquin Park in the east. The most populous area is the Muskoka Lakes Township, where Lake Muskoka, Lake Rosseau and Lake Joseph are located. Cottages on these lakes tend to be upper-end properties, and the closer a property is to Port Carling, known as the hub of the Muskoka Lakes, the more expensive it will likely be.
