EXPLORE THE REGION
your muskoka story starts here
At Muskoka Bay Resort, you’re perfectly positioned to experience the best of Muskoka—especially if it’s your first time. Think of it as your basecamp: a place to wake up slowly, plan your day over coffee, and head out into a landscape that feels equal parts iconic and easy to explore.
Spend your mornings on nearby hiking trails, where granite outcrops and quiet forest paths set the tone. Grab a bike and make your way down to Muskoka Wharf, where the lake opens up and the classic Muskoka experience begins. From there, step aboard the historic Muskoka Steamships for a cruise that feels like a step back in time, or wander through the Muskoka Discovery Centre to get a deeper sense of the region’s story.
On select days, the Wharf comes alive with local vendors, makers, and market finds—perfect for a relaxed afternoon of browsing and soaking it all in. Whether you're here to explore, unwind, or simply see what Muskoka is all about, everything starts right here.
