Muskoka District Nature Trails
Welcome to Muskoka District!
Welcome to Muskoka, a land of clear, sparkling lakes and rivers, fresh pine scented air, and outcroppings of granite among lush, green forests. It is an area where vast and unspoiled nature awaits discovery as well as active urban centres, each one unique, offering residents the charm of yesterday and the modern services of today. Whatever your activity, boating, golfing, skiing, snowmobiling or enjoying a beautiful sunset, Muskoka provides its residents with a healthy lifestyle in a uniquely beautiful setting.
The District of Muskoka extends from the shores of Georgian Bay in the west to Algonquin Park in the east; north past the Town of Huntsville and south to the Trent-Severn inland waterway. In all, it includes some 4,761 square kilometres dotted with more than 600 pristine lakes. Muskoka takes pride in its legacy of a predominantly forested landscape that supports diverse and functioning ecosystems including lakes, wetlands, forests, barrens and open fields. Interspersed in the natural setting are small to mid-sized communities and rural and waterfront development that provide a range of economic opportunities and lifestyle options. Due to the large proportion of seasonal residents, Muskoka is able to offer the amenities of a large metropolitan city and the attractive lifestyle of a small community with virtually no crime, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Canadian Shield. Imagine no traffic jams, short commutes, even walking through forests or along waterfronts and trails to work.
You will find some of the best hiking and nature trails in Ontario right here in Muskoka District.
