Currently vacationing in the Muskokas for a week. If you visit here be sure to visit Dorset tower, Henrietta's Bakery for the best eclairs in your life, you can rent canoes down the road at Algonquin Outfitters as well as paddle boards. I'm learning how to paddle board today and not doing too bad. Took a few tumbles but dusted myself off. Your also close to Ontario's largest park called Algonquin Park where you can venture out on more trails than you can complete in a month. Just watch for bears and Moose. Enjoy!
