Behind the Name
The name “Muskoka” comes from an area in Ontario, Canada also known as “cottage country”. This is a landscape filled with sparkling lakes and huge granite rock faces. Pine trees tower on rocky clifftops and the maples and oaks of the forest only get more beautiful as their leaves change to red and gold every autumn. Rivers wind through the rocky ground leading to and from shallow wetlands or deep glacier-carved lakes. Watching the mist curl over glassy water on a still morning, hearing nothing but the dip of a paddle and the call of a loon, sitting on a dock with your toes splashing gently in the cool fresh water, and snowshoeing along a snowy forest trail are the things that Muskoka means. |
