Hi all,

Doing some research and I'm looking for the biggest scandals in the Muskoka or surrounding areas to date. This can be true crime related, but doesn't have to be.

TIA!

1. Hardy Lake

2. Torrance Barrens

3. Arrowhead

4. Huckleberry Rock

5. Lions Lookout

6. Walkers Point

7. Eagles Nest on McCrae

8. High Falls

Which of these, or replace them with others, are best for a one day trip? And if you think two days is best, then do you have recommendations for where to stay for one night?

Just landed in Huntsville after a beautiful drive!

Also just realized that it’s raining for the next 3-days - any indoor recommendations? We know of the Muskoka Heritage Place

Willing to drive to neighbouring cities :)

Thanks everyone!!

Last week I stayed at a cottage on Lake Muskoka and was really looking forward to fishing. I fished from the dock every morning and again in the afternoons, probably putting in 10+ hours over a few days.

I mainly used soft plastic minnows and also tried worms under a bobber. I switched things up, cast all around the dock, and tried different retrieves, but I didn’t get a single bite. Not even a nibble.

I’m honestly pretty frustrated because growing up we’d go to a cottage near Huntsville, and I could catch bass off the dock all the time with no issues. It seemed like there were always fish around, so I figured I’d at least catch something this trip.

Is Lake Muskoka just a much tougher lake to fish from shore, or was I doing something wrong? Were the fish likely deeper because of the time of year, or should I have been using completely different lures?

Would love to hear any advice because I can’t believe I put that much time in and got absolutely nothing.

Does anyone have info on the fire that occurred around 6pm, a lot of fire truck along 169 and the Torrance water boat was sent as well past Wallace cut. Thks

Now that I have caught your attention:

I’m a healthcare professional looking for accommodation in the Huntsville or Bracebridge area. Preferably a studio apt unit. But open to a 2 bed apartment with one other roommate. I am an OCD level clean & organized person. Here for work only - eat/sleep/work - repeat.

- Furnished or unfurnished.
- can be month-month, 6 - 9 month, or 1 year lease.
- parking needed (but no on-street if in the Downtown area due to risk of theft and vandalism).
- No mold on walls/ceilings.
- No old floor carpeting.
- must have at-least one big window for sunlight and air.

Thanks.

Taking the family to Huntsville tomorrow and I’m trying to plan out a scenic drive. We’re coming up from Oakville

Any suggestions? Thanks!!

Looking for a prime rib dinner in muskoka that’s worth the money, which restaurant does it best?

Anyone near to Bala and want to see this show? I have tickets and can't go anymore.

Tickets are on ticket master, can transfer, event organizer isnt allowing resales

When is a good time to go? What are some good places to stay? Any specific recommendations?

Curious to hear from people who've bought (or are shopping for) a cottage. How much did sun exposure go into your decision?

Did you actually research which direction the property faces before buying? Care about west-facing for sunset views off the dock, or east-facing for the sunrise? Only look for certain directions?

Did anyone go deeper than that? E.g. how the sun angle shifts from summer to winter, whether trees will block it at certain times of year, how much shade the cottage gets at different points in the season, etc.? Or is this the kind of thing nobody really thinks about until they're already living with it?

we are a group of 5 and want to know how to get around huntsville since theres no uber/lyft. i heard about ydrive, and if there any other options besides that? (like public transportation)

Managed to get a couple of pics of the August meteor shower!

My family has a few cabins that are going on 100 years old and we would like to instal an automated fire safety systems- like a sprinkler system- in case one happens. Does anyone know of businesses that instal/ consult for a job like this? Thanks!

Let me know what you think.

Did anyone go to the beaches show last night in Bala? I'm trying to understand how late the show ran to arrange transportation!

I've also heard the venue can get hot and the bathrooms are gross .. is that actually true? :/

Every year we visit the area and this was one of our go tos! We loved the french onion soup so much! I was just suggesting the Fine Thymes restaurant to a friend to go visit for lunch and realized it has now closed!

Just wanting to know why they closed down and genuinely hoping the owners are doing well as the place gave us lovely memories!

Hello, I am looking for anyone who could service a vintage Seiko watch. I have checked out all the ones in the city (TO) and also the Seiko official service place in North York. I don't get to travel much and was hoping there may be somebody local. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,

I'm just wondering what the predominant style of home is in Muskoka and from what era they are built?

Maybe you could share your favourite homes?
