Muskoka: Enchanting Stories from Cottage Country

Muskoka is a beloved region for summertime frivolity—a popular destination for tourists and cottagers.

The region is also home to a remarkably varied and interesting history.

This book explores stories that most people, residents included, likely know little about.

Meet Dangerous Dan, a two-fisted brawler who fought his way into legend though countless lumber camps and booze-soaked taverns.

Learn how one man’s vision and hard work transformed Bala into the “Cranberry Capital of Ontario.”

Explore the history of Bigwin Inn, a lavish resort that was once the most luxurious hotel in Canada and that experienced a tragic and sad demise.

Venture aboard steamships, into logging camps and elegant resorts, and through dense forests to the remains of ghost towns to unearth tales so much a part of the Muskoka experience…but overshadowed by the beautiful lakes and the endless opportunities for carefree enjoyment.
