Things to do in Muskoka District, Muskoka District: The Best Outdoor Activities

Welcome to North Ridge Ranch. We are very happy you stopped by and hope that we can share the magic and adventure of dog sledding with you in Muskoka. Huntsville, Ontario is where we call home and have had our kennel for over 15 years. Owner/ Operators Brad & Leah Fetterley and over 70 amazing Alaskan Huskies make up a dynamic team that are excited to take you on an unforgettable dog sled tour through the wilds of Muskoka.

The "Muskoka Experience" always includes a cruise on the big 3 Muskoka Lakes, with their rugged & beautiful Canadian Shield vistas & gorgeous cottages. Enjoy live commentary including history & local lore. Depart Port Carling 7 days/wk late June-Oct. Sunset, dinner & private/bridal cruises too! Owned & operated by Captain Randy Potts, who has been a licensed captain for over 30 years, Sunset Cruises is an alternative to the larger ships, and can show you Muskoka scenery accessible only by our smaller ships. We go where the large boats don't. The Peerless II made its living for over 50 years as a gasoline and home heating oil delivery boat. We restored it so visitors and locals alike could see and experience first hand the historic supply boat era on the lakes.

Muskoka and Algonquin is our playground. Whether you’re a family paddleboarding on a lazy river, or friends on a casual snowshoeing adventure, we have a fully outfitted trip tailored to you. On site activities include wildlife studies, wilderness scavenger hunt, low ropes, archery, firebuilding, bush skills, lumberjack skills, night/blind games, winter games, and Firefighter Games - Escape Room.

Participate in at least twelve different Muskoka-related challenges as you move through beautiful downtown Huntsville. Accessible to a wide range of ages and abilities. Customized experiences are available. A one-of-a-kind team-building/family/birthday/wedding adventure!

The forerunner of Muskoka's popularity as a golf destination, par 72 Deerhurst Highlands remains a must-play renowned for its layout which flows naturally through a rugged yet lush landscape of granite outcroppings, deep valleys and heavy forests.

Featuring practice facility, seasonal lounge and comprehensive Golf Academy.
