Live the Magic of Muskoka & Haliburton
The gateway to nature’s playground is a mere 90 minutes from Toronto’s Pearson International Airport, where the sounds of rush hour traffic, roaring planes and trains, and buzzing crowds are replaced by soothing water caressing granite shores, spectacular cascading waterfalls, and the whispering wind through majestic pines.
From the vast wilderness of Algonquin Park, to the rugged windswept shores of the Georgian Bay Islands, the enchanting landscape extends from Gravenhurst in the south, Bracebridge, Muskoka Lakes in the west, Huntsville & Almaguin Highlands in the north, and Lake of Bays and Haliburton in the east.
