Lake Muskoka

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lake Muskoka is located between Port Carling and Gravenhurst, Ontario. The lake is surrounded by many cottages. The lake is primarily in the Township of Muskoka Lakes, with the southeast corner in the Town of Gravenhurst. The Town of Bala, Ontario is located on the southwest shores of the lake, where the Moon River starts. Lake Muskoka is connected to Lake Rosseau through the Indian River and lock system at Port Carling. The lake is mainly fed by the Muskoka River, which gives the water a distinctive brownish colour compared to Lake Joseph and Lake Rosseau (both of which are primarily spring-fed).

[edit] Lake Front Resident Advocacy Group

There are many community groups based on Lake Muskoka. The largest of these is the Muskoka Lakes Association (MLA). The MLA was founded in 1894 to represent the interests of lakeshore residents on Lakes Rosseau, Joseph and Muskoka and many smaller surrounding lakes.
