Town

Gravenhurst

The southern gateway to Ontario's Muskoka cottage country, Gravenhurst sits on the shores of Muskoka Bay where historic steamships still cruise among granite islands and pine-draped inlets. The compact downtown mixes Victorian architecture with waterfront docks, while nearby lakes invite kayaking, swimming, and star-gazing far from city lights.
