MUSKOKA’S HISTORY AND NATURAL BEAUTY
Muskoka is a beautiful, unspoiled region of central Ontario Canada less than two hours from Toronto. Most visitors appreciate the drive too, where they feel they’re getting away from the noise and smog of the city to a natural paradise filled with unusual geography and wildlife. Recreation and leisure is the number one focus and the attitude is much more laid back than you’ll find in Toronto. People come to Muskoka to commune with nature and relax. Hollywood movie stars and millionaires make their homes here.
The history of the region of central Ontario called Muskoka goes back much further than anyone one would suspect. The area was frequented by rich Americans during the later part of the 19th century. The Muskoka region is a geographical area bounded by Parry Sound to the West, Huntsville to the east, Severn Bridge to the south and Rosseau to the North. The region actually touches the edge of Algonquin Park and the Georgian Bay region.
The natural beauty of Muskoka comes from the fact that land is covered with Canadian shield rock. The Canadian Shield is a layer of rock granite that covers a good portion of Canada, but is most noticeable in the Northern Ontario region. The unusual features of the land, lakes and waterways of the area were the inspiration of many famous Canadian artists. It is the works of these artists including Tom Thompson and JEH McDonald that brought awareness of Muskoka and the north to mainstream populations near Toronto. That increased the migration of tourists northward, many of whom wanted cottage properties of their own.
