Ontario's Outdoors

Discover the sparkling lakes, granite shores and charming towns of picturesque Muskoka, a treasured holiday destination for generations of Canadians. Cruise in a vintage steam-driven vessel, dip a paddle into blue waters or simply relax lakeside. Fondly referred to as “cottage country”, Muskoka is located just two hours north of Toronto – yet it offers an unplugged pace that’s a world away from Canada’s largest city.

Nearby, explore the world-famous Algonquin Provincial Park. With hundreds of lakes, the park is perfect for beginner or expert canoeists. Enjoy the spring wildflowers or the brilliant fall colours while hiking. Watch for wildlife – from hawks and great blue herons to moose, beaver and deer.

In Eastern Ontario, take in the majestic landscape and impressive summer homes of the 1000 Islands on a boat cruise, a helicopter tour or a kayak. The city of Kingston offers both historic charm and modern sophistication. While you’re here, take in 200 years of Kingston history on a guided Kingston Trolley Tour then visit the iconic Fort Henry National Historic Site. Explore Kingston’s picturesque and walkable downtown shopping district, home to a wide variety of unique boutiques and restaurants.

Wherever your Ontario journey takes you, warm hospitality is guaranteed.
