A welcome message
from the Mayor
On behalf of the Township and our
residents, I am pleased to welcome you
to Muskoka Lakes. Within our almost
800 square kilometers of spectacular
scenery, comprised of island studded
lakes, Canadian Shield outcroppings and
mixed forests, you will find something
for everyone.
Many of our 35,000 seasonal residents return to Muskoka Lakes each
summer from Toronto, the USA and the four corners of the Earth to
renew relationships with family and friends, “recharge their biological
batteries” and reabsorb the Muskoka Experience.
Like a fine wine, to appreciate Muskoka Lakes you need to spend time
to savour the subtle complexities, with all your senses.
Winter to me is our frozen lakes, crisp white snow and millions of stars
on a frigid winter evening. Try ice fishing, snowmobiling, cross country
skiing, snowshoeing or just relaxing by a wood fire. You will find
restaurants and accommodations ranging from basic good quality to five
star resorts. Port Carling’s Winterfest, in early February is always good
fun for people of all ages.
Summer is the time to enjoy many of our 80 pristine soft water lakes.
Swimming, fishing, water skiing and perhaps a ride in a classic wooden
boat, to view Muskoka’s trademark 2 story multi-slip boathouses,
should be on everyone’s bucket list. Summer is also the time to enjoy
Muskoka’s cuisine, our shops, artist studios and play a round of golf at
one of our renowned golf courses or just soak up the sun on a dock or
at the beach.
Fall is my favorite season. The cavalcade of colours says it all. By
the end of September and into early October each year our mixed
hardwoods, especially the maples, turn brilliant shades of yellow,
orange and red. The hillsides burst into a beautiful palette of colours.
I would encourage you to spend some time kicking the leaves in our
numerous parks and on our trails. Entry is free and many of the views
are spectacular. The Cranberry Festival in Bala (the Cranberry Capital of
Ontario), is the weekend after Thanksgiving. It becomes more popular
every year – you won’t want to miss it.
Enjoy your stay in the Township of Muskoka Lakes and
please come back soon.
Don Furniss, Mayor Township of Muskoka Lakes

Things to do
Everyone knows that Muskoka Lakes is Ontario’s summer
playground but that’s really just the tip of the iceberg. Twelve
months a year you can find activities and events throughout
the region.
Johnston’s Cranberry marsh near Bala offers a truly unique
way to enjoy the peaceful winter season with a 1.2 km skating
loop through 12 acres of frozen cranberry marsh. Warm up
afterwards at the Muskoka Lakes Winery on the same property.
The cranberry marsh offers over 10 km of snowshoe trails,
and more trails can be found at the nearby Torrance Barrens
Conservation area, Hardy Lake Provincial Park and you don’t
want to miss the vista from Huckleberry Rock. The Bala
Cranberry Festival attracts thousands of visitors in October,
always the weekend after Thanksgiving.
During the first week of February, Port Carling is a hub of
activity as the annual Winterfest celebrations — from axe
throwing to fireworks displays — take over the community.
Spring means it’s time to get back on the water and there’s
no better way than aboard one of the area’s historic
watercraft. Sunset Cruises out of Port Carling, the Muskoka
Steamships out of the Gravenhurst Wharf and the Lady
Muskoka sailing out of Bracebridge all offer scenic cruises.
7
As the weather warms, farmers’ markets kick into high gear
offering the best in unique food and artwork. Bala’s market
runs every Monday in Jaspen Park, while Port Carling hosts
its farmers’ market in Hanna Park on Thursdays. Rosseau
offers a market on Fridays.
Muskoka Lakes is also home to some of the most highly
ranked golf courses in the country. Nine holes or 18, private
or public, there are abundant ways to hit the links.
A summer favorite is the Summer Water Sports show team,
which performs their acrobatic tricks during free shows
throughout Muskoka every week.
Bala’s Museum with Memories of Lucy Maud Montgomery
is a must for Anne of Green Gable fans, while the Muskoka
Lakes Museum in Port Carling brings local history to life.
And did you know that this year is Bala’s 150th anniversary? The
only official town in Muskoka Lakes is packed full of history.
The Kee to Bala, for example, has brought big musical acts to
Muskoka since the days of Louis Armstrong, and the tradition
continues to this day.
Visit some of our many artists’ galleries, and bring home
a piece of
Muskoka
artwork, or hit
one of the craft
fairs or antique
shows.
Experience
the colourful
explosion of fall
by heading out
on one of our
many hiking trails
or stroll through
our villages and
experience the world’s largest historic photo mosaic in Port
Carling — affectionately known as “The Wall”.

After a day spent on the water or hiking through forests
and over rockscapes, all you can think of is your grumbling
stomach and that perfect meal.
Whether it’s fine dining with some of Ontario’s best chefs or
a take-out order to eat in the park, there’s a selection of food
and drink in Muskoka Lakes to suit every palate.
If you’re looking for a cross-section of the area’s best, head
to Flavours of Muskoka Chautauqua. The one-day event
brings together over 20 chefs, restaurants, wineries and
breweries under one roof, with live music and artwork.
Check the Muskoka Lakes Chamber of Commerce website
at muskokalakeschmaber.ca for regular updates on Flavours
and other events.
Muskoka Lakes is now home to its own craft brewery: Clear
Lake Brewing Co. in Torrance. With a pub menu and events,
you can enjoy an entire evening out in Torrance. Just outside
the border of Muskoka Lakes is another Chamber member
brewery: Muskoka Brewery in Bracebridge.
Dockside dining is a favourite among locals and guests, and
some great spots can be found along the water’s edge in
Port Carling and Bala. You’ll find wonderful casual fine dining
at restaurants in Minett, Windermere and Rosseau as well.
Wahta Mohawk Territory has the award-winning Mrs. H’s
Fish and Chips and you’ll find yummy ribs at the Northern
BBQ Shack.
Of course, ice cream is synonymous with summer and there
are lots of spots and flavours to choose from across our
region, too.
The area’s resorts and lodges are known for going that extra
mile when it comes to a complete dining experience. Resorts
like Windermere House, JW Marriott The Rosseau Muskoka
11Resort & Spa, Severn
Lodge, Rawley Resort and
Sherwood Inn have built a
large part of their reputation
on their ability to deliver
culinary masterpieces.
Or you can put your own
delicious vision together by
shopping at specialty food
providers, such as Field of
Greens, Stephen’s Butcher
Shop and the famous Don’s Come by and get your
Bakery (to name just a few) favourite flavours!
and there are our local
grocers as well that will keep 98 Maple St • Port Carling
you well stocked. 705.765.7200 • mooskokas.com
Need help creating that
culinary vision? Moon River
Catering is a great option
and they offer a special venue in a historic stone church
in Bala.

16Shopping
If you’re looking for a trendy or one-of-a-kind item, then
Muskoka Lakes has you covered.
Chic boutiques offering something for every taste can be
found throughout Bala and Port Carling, and also tucked
away in a number of our villages.
Want to look good and feel comfy around the cottage? There
are multiple shops to find fun and comfortable cottage wear.
Anyone looking to find a new outfit for the tennis court or
the links can find a wide selection of active wear.
There are also shops specializing in keepsakes and gifts.
Bring home a reminder of your visit to Muskoka Lakes, or find
someone that unique gift they won’t find anywhere else.
No one does cottage decor quite like Muskoka Lakes. Our
local businesses offer everything from classic cottage designs
to the most modern trends in decor.
The Wahta Station is worth the drive out Muskoka Road
38 (or coming in to Muskoka Lakes from Highway 400).
The homemade moccasins are a popular choice, but with
clothing, gifts, their own food line — Laura’s Kitchen — and
even a walk-in humidor, there are choices galore.
Minett Madness has quickly become a favourite summer
event at the SWS Marina on Juddhaven Road. With pop up
shops, food and live music, it’s not hard to see why.
Check out www.muskokalakeschamber.ca for a full list of
shops and events.

As our region became a hotspot for summer visitors, boat
building became a thriving industry in the region and
Muskoka became known as the wooden boat building
capital of North America.
Many boat builders still ply their trade in Muskoka Lakes,
and you can fulfill your dream of owning an enchanting
classic watercraft by contacting Ed Skinner Boat
Brokerage, Duke Boats or Stan Hunter. Check out www.
muskokalakeschamber.ca for contact details for these and
other boat sales, rental and service businesses.
To captain a wooden boat yourself, visit the Muskoka
Launch Livery, located just east of Port Carling on Lake
Muskoka. It’s the only place in North America where you
can rent a classic Duke Playmate.
There are plenty of ways to rent or own something more
modern as well. Some marinas offer rentals and/or sell
superior lines of boats. For example, Muskoka Boat Gallery
specializes in Mastercraft while Bala Cove Marina is an
authorized dealer of Princecraft Boats. Or check out other
boat dealers like The Cove or Terence Marine.
23Most marinas and boat shops offer service and storage
as well.
For those interested in a more leisurely pace there are
places to rent canoes and kayaks.
And Indian River Trading
Company has everything
from wakeboards and

water skis to SUPs.
On top of that, they
have Muskoka’s largest
selection of outdoor

Gardening
The secret behind those show-stopping planters
We’ve all seen them, those gorgeous, full, colourful
planters and containers on docks and decks around the
lakes. And you keep asking yourself, what’s their secret,
well here it is…
It’s more than just dirt, there’s no such thing as maintenance-
free, not all plants are created equal, and you really can have
too much of a good thing when it comes to water.
Let’s start from the ground up. First off, the container you
are using must have drainage holes. So before you put the
soil in, ensure there is adequate drainage in the bottom of
the container.
Ideally you will use new
soil in your planter each
year. But realistically
some containers are
quite large and to re-fill
your planter each year
with new soil could cost
a fortune. So if you don’t
empty all of the soil out,
make sure that you are adding at least 4 to 6” of new soil.
And not top soil or triple mix. Use a container mix, it really
doesn’t matter the brand, but some of the name brand
soils do offer a soil mix that has fertilizer already in it and
some water-holding properties, which is good if you aren’t
there all the time to water.
This isn’t plant it and forget it. To get the most of your
containers, you need to fertilize on a regular basis, dead-
head spent blooms and sometimes you will need to trim
29the plants back a bit so they don’t get that long, leggy look
with no blooms.
We all know that plants need water to survive, but
overwatering is just as bad as under-watering. If plants
are sitting in soil that is saturated with water, you start
to get some problems. Roots will start to rot and a moist
environment is just inviting pests and fungus. This is why
proper drainage is so important. Just remember, you can
always add more water, but you can’t take it away.
Probably the best piece of advice though is to shop at your
local, independent garden centre. A reputable garden centre
will already be taking proper care of the plants, giving them
a great head start before you bring them home. They can
also answer all of your questions and set you up with the
proper soil, fertilizer and plants to make you successful.

Arts &Culture
Art lovers can find their heart’s desire in Muskoka Lakes. The
area’s rich cultural history has helped produce a thriving arts
community that hums through all four seasons.
In the early 1900s, Muskoka was known as Canada’s literary
summer capital, largely due to conferences held in 1916 and
1917 at Windermere House and Elgin House to provide study,
sport and spiritual uplift.
Today, Chamber members such as Muskoka Chautauqua
champion the arts in Muskoka with multi-disciplinary
arts-based programs like live concerts, plays and literary
workshops against the backdrop of Muskoka’s natural beauty.
It’s a little-known fact that Muskoka Lakes is actually
the birthplace of summer theatre. In 1934, what would
come to be known as the Actors’ Colony Theatre was
launched in Bala, building a considerable reputation and
frequently drawing crowds in excess of 1,000 to its summer
productions.
Bala was also the home of Dunn’s Pavilion starting in the
summer of 1942. The venue saw such notable acts as Cab
Calloway, the Dorsey Brothers and Duke Ellington in its early
years. Renamed The Kee to Bala in the 1960s, it continues to
draw some of the biggest names in music from Drake and
Snoop Dog, to David Wilcox and Blue Rodeo.
37Artist studios can be found down almost every side road in Muskoka
but perhaps the best way to experience them is during the Muskoka
Autumn Studio Tour. Check out www.muskokalakeschamber.ca/
events/ for info on this and other events.
Local history is on full display at the Muskoka Lakes Museum in
Port Carling, and Bala’s Museum — with memories of Lucy Maud
Montgomery — is the Anne of Green Gables enthusiast’s dream come
true.

When it comes to healthcare, Muskoka Lakes offers a range of services.
There is a healthcare hub staffed by a nurse practitioner in Port Carling
and a second one in Wahta. A nurse practitioner (NP) is a registered
nurse with advanced university education who provides a full range of
health care services to individuals and families.
Why spend your holidays in the waiting room of an ER or a clinic when
you can visit an NP right in Muskoka Lakes. You will need to book ahead
— as it’s not emergency care — but there is typically good availability.
You can find an osteopath in Bala at the Bond Osteopathic Clinic;
a pharmacy at the Apothecary Shop in Port Carling; and have all of
your dental needs met at Port Carling Dental. If you’re looking for
an optometrist, Drs. Bishop, Marshall and Associates are chamber
members. An accomplished chiropractor out of California, Dr. Brigitte
Faas, is setting up a practice here as well.
You can also request a registered massage therapist at most of our area spas.
Many of those spas can be found inside resorts, such as the Lakehouse Spa at
Rawley Resort in Port Severn, Beginnings Spa at Sherwood Inn, Amba Spa at
Windermere House and Touchstone Resort, The Workshop Spa and Esthetics
in Bala, and Revive Salon and Spa, also in Bala. Many of our spas are open
the entire year.
Check www.muskokalakeschamber.ca for more information about each
of the health and wellness offerings here.

The Muskoka Lakes Chamber of Commerce has a mandate
to promote the economic, civil and social welfare of the
Muskoka Lakes region.
To help achieve those goals we partner with organizations
like the Township of Muskoka Lakes, Muskoka Tourism,
Explorer’s Edge, Muskoka Futures, the Muskoka Small
Business Centre and the region’s other chambers of
commerce, to name just a few.
The Chamber is honoured to count many other non-profit
organizations as members. That includes the CNIB, Camp
Oochigeas, Habitat for Humanity, Muskoka Lakes Preschool
and YWCA Muskoka. We also have several associations and
service organizations as members, such as the Bala and
Port Carling Legions, The Port Carling Lions Club and the
Bracebridge-Muskoka Lakes Rotary Club.
The Muskoka
Lakes Chamber
runs community
events, such as the
annual Bala Santa
Claus Parade, and
we help promote
others like Port
Carling Winterfest
and the Port Carling
Santa Claus Parade
(sponsored by the Port Carling Lions Club). Our Chamber
started the Bala and Port Carling Farmers’ Markets which
now are operated by the vendors themselves.
