Lake Muskoka is my favourite place. Many childhood memories were created here and I still see this lake daily. I try to get out on the lake as often as possible in the boat, paddleboard or even aboard one of the great ships cruising out of the Muskoka Wharf. Definitely a treasure and should be protected for futures generations to enjoy!
2. Muskoka Drive-In

We are the oldest continuing operating Drive In theatre in all of Canada having opened in 1952. We are unlike any other Drive In experience in the country. Nestled among many indigenous trees like pine and birch, we are unique in that we have a cement movie screen that as built on top of a giant rock that is located on the theatre property. But just not any rock, the screen was built upon Canadian Shield Granite Rock! We have a kid's playground with many of the original play equipment including a giant sand pit filled with toys. We still play cartoons to start the night, vintage intermission snack bar clips and do draws for prizes every night we are open. We are still the ultimate Drive In experience filled with fun, families and nostalgia!

We frequent this Drive-In all summer long. Some of the friendliest staff we have ever met. Was happy to be let in with our RV(at no extra charge for the night). The screen is bright and the snack bar has a great BBQ. The classic animations for the intermission always make us smile. Crank up the sound, it's always clear!

Auburn is a beautiful small gallery filled with both established and emerging artists in a variety of media with a bent toward nature. Terry, the owner, has a good eye for design and can help her clients create artful retreats in their homes. With both indoor and outdoor spaces, Auburn is a must see when visiting Muskoka.

So many things were great - from informative videos to interesting artifacts and educational pieces. A real step back in time. Bonus water dock with several beautiful antique wooden boats. A must-visit for any boater and/or history buff. Probably not worth taking children under 6.

A beautiful, historic theatre in downtown Gravenhurst, presenting live theatre, concerts, community programming, youth outreach, stand-up comedy and more. Over a century of great entertainment. The Gravenhurst Opera House, a tradition worth coming back for.

This is a beautiful park with a lovely view of Gull Lake. But watch out for those gulls. We were eating a snack on a bench there when a gull swooped in and nicked my finger trying to steel my food. The Music on the Barge Summer Concerts on Sundays there can't be beat!

Located in Gravenhurst Ontario, the gateway to Muskoka, Sawdust City Brewing Company is dedicated to the art and science of creating exceptional craft beers. We produce traditional ales in an array of styles, but there is nothing traditional about the flavour. Our brewmaster, Sam Corbeil, and his talented team create award-winning exciting beers that expand the borders of traditional flavour profiles. The rule at Sawdust City is there are no rules. We are just here to make great beer. In addition to our six year-round core brands, we brew exceptional seasonal offerings, exciting limited batch brews, barrel-aged and experimental beers. Of course all of our beers are all-natural and made with only the finest ingredients. We don't take ourselves too seriously as our labels express and hey, beer should be fun! What we do take seriously is the quality of our beers, which we are sure you will enjoy.
