 Muskoka Ontario
Muskoka Ontario is on the international tourism destination map after hosting the 2010 G8 Summit. It is a home away from home with the many permanent cottagers who make Muskoka their second home. When tourists or new Ontario visitors think of traveling north, they often equate cottage country with Muskoka. Any number of lakes, towns, villages cottages, Provincial Parks, and outdoor destinations conjure a personal vision of "Muskokas" or "The Muskokas". Cottage owners are often emphatic that Muskoka is the only Ontario 'cottage country'. See cottage living for cottage real estate information. Muskoka is a location with luxury resorts and quaint towns and villages and unique attractions, events and festivals as one drives north on The Highway 11 Way. Muskoka is the link to many of Ontario's outstanding resort destinations.
Where is Muskoka?
 This is difficult to answer for most new visitors or tourists. Everyone usually knows that Muskoka is north of Toronto and accessed by Highway
400 and Highway 11. See the Muskoka Map. To the south Muskoka Borders Simcoe county and changes along the Severn River. To the
south side of the Severn is mostly Simoce County, and to the North side is Muskoka. To the west, the main border is Tay Township which is also part
of Simcoe County. Muskoka also touches on Georgian Bay and the 30,000 Island to the west. To the North Muskoka Borders on the Parry Sound District,
and often Muskoka-Parrry Sound are referred as one destination. To the east and north east, North Muskoka
includes Lake of Bays bordiner on Haliburton County and the Algonquin
Park area. Muskoka has the reputation as being one of the larger areas in the province known as cottage country. Many Toronto residents consider
Muskoka to be located in northern Ontario. However, by provincial standards, Muskoka is located in Southern Ontario. Muskoka is famous for the 'Muskoka
Chair", and the summer Muskoka sand beaches, winter sports and deep lakes such as Lake Muskoka.
Muskoka Cottage Country
One of the best ways to discover Muskoka, is to look at private cottage rentals at locations such as At
Cooper Lake Cottage - Dwight, Corbett Cove Vacation Residences - Dwight or overnight cottage resort
accommodation at cottage rentals, cottage resorts, and Ontario
resorts. Be prepared to "fall in love" when you start to discover Muskoka and all of the Ontario treasures in this resort destination.
