Choose Lake of Bays

Sometimes referred to as “the New Muskoka,” Lake of Bays has been getting a lot of attention lately. Resplendent with all the benefits of Muskoka’s higher profile lakes, Lake of Bays projects self-assurance through a more naturalized shoreline, with cottages tending to be tucked away in the trees instead of built out front. Lovers of nature enjoy the classic cottage-country appeal and cooler vibe of Lake of Bays.

Beautiful Landscapes in Lake of Bays in the Fall

Convenient to the shoreline communities of Baysville, Dorset, Dwight, and South Portage, Lake of Bays is also home to the peninsula community of Port Cunnington, and is a short drive from Huntsville and Algonquin Park. Thanks to its proximity to these many communities, Lake of Bays residents enjoy access to the many marinas, golf courses, recreation trails, shops, and restaurants in the region.

Lake of Bays’ largest island, Bigwin Island, is home to the distinguished Bigwin Island Golf Club and is the site of the now-closed historic Bigwin Inn, a favourite summer resort destination for Hollywood illuminati, politicians, and royalty in the early half of the twentieth century. Today, visitors to the island can tour what remains preserved of the celebrated inn, and enjoy refreshments or a meal in the golf course’s Marine Dining Room or Dockside Lounge.
