Tours in Muskoka

Visiting Muskoka is like being transported to a different place and time. The exposed 1.5 billion year old Canadian Shield is unique to the region, as are the cool, deep lakes left behind by the glaciers that once covered the land.

The only problem for visitors wanting to tour Muskoka, whether arriving by car, bus, train or plane, is where to begin exploring! Boaters should check out the countless easily accessible lakes, while nature lovers can canoe or kayak across any of the lakeside parks sprinkled across the region. Hiking and biking trails offer excellent sightseeing opportunities, and during the warmer months, the region’s a hotbed of activity for horseback riding. Cruises and fishing are also popular pastimes.

If driving, grab an informative visitor’s map and partake in a self-guided tour when the fabulous fall colours arrive. Muskoka’s history includes many famous artists, and many of the region’s artisans and photographers open their studios to share their art with visitors.

There’s a lot to do during the winter months, too, including skiing (downhill and cross country) and snowboarding, snow tubing and tobogganing, dog sledding, skating, snowmobiling and snowshoeing.

Driving Tours are popular in every season.

Muskoka Art and Crafts host tours each year. Their fall studio tour is the oldest one in the country.

The Group of Seven Outdoor Gallery is a wonderful tour of 91 large murals of Group of Seven and Tom Thompson art. These artists created a Canadian Art Movement that lies at the heart of Canadian culture and heritage.
