Lake Muskoka Waterfront Properties
Lake Muskoka is centrally located in Ontario’s cottage country and is one of Muskoka’s most recognizable and heavily used lakes. With clear water, varied shorelines, and strong year-round access, it offers reliable boating, swimming, fishing, and straightforward access to nearby towns and services.
As part of Muskoka’s “Big Three”—along with Lake Joseph and Lake Rosseau—Lake Muskoka cottages are among the most in-demand waterfront properties in the province. The lake lies between Port Carling and Gravenhurst and is known for its traditional boathouses, established neighbourhoods, and long stretches of developed shoreline. Most of the lake is within the Township of Muskoka Lakes, with the southeast corner extending into Gravenhurst. Cottages range from water-access properties on the islands to full four-season homes on the mainland.
