No matter at what stage of life you choose to move to Muskoka, there couldn’t be a better time. Year-round residents of course enjoy the same summertime wonders that draw people here from all over the world: crystal clear lakes framed by soaring pines and outcroppings of granite; watersports and almost endless hiking and biking trails; and close proximity to Algonquin Park, to name just a few. But residents of the region also experience the majesty of Muskoka as the seasons change: the breathtaking elegance of its fall display, the stark beauty of its snowy winters, and the welcome unfurling of spring. These are among the reasons why Muskoka’s residents include many whose families have lived here for generations.
