Huntsville, ON

Welcome to Huntsville – one of Ontario’s most beloved tourist destinations this community is a vibrant, vast and wondrous playground that attracts visitors from every corner of the world to enjoy the serenity and warmth of a small community nestled amongst the lakes and trees overflowing from nearby iconic Algonquin Provincial Park.

Experience unique events such as international triathlons, cycling tours, marathons (with musicians en route!), winter carnivals, parades, a bathtub derby (yes, bathtubs with motors!) and many more events to fill out your visit. Some of the many festivals that make this location a must visit includes Midnight Madness Street Dance and Summer Sidewalk Sale with music, food and shops, Macaroni Festival where you can try delicious samples of cheesy mac n’ cheese from local restaurants, or grab your closest girlfriends for a weekend to remember filled with entertainment, shopping and pampering with the Girlfriends Getaway Weekend! There will definitely never be a dull moment when visiting Huntsville!

Take your time and take a troll to the many pristine beaches, meandering trails and unique attractions starting with Lion’s Lookout or venture off the beaten path to take in some incredible local art by visiting artists’ studios. Don’t miss visiting Muskoka Heritage Place, this is the greatest historical attraction in the region and will give you a lot of information and knowledge about the history of the area. If you are planning a visit make sure to put aside plenty of time as you will undoubtedly become fully immersed in the lives and customs of those who lived here in the early days and hitch a ride on The Portage Flyer Train. This rail route was once the world’s smallest commercial railroad, it’s better you plan a full-day trip to see all of these hidden gems of Muskoka.

The Group of Seven Outdoor Gallery is an extraordinary public exhibit which features mural reproductions of masterpiece paintings by Canada’s renowned artists. Mesmerized and inspired by the stunning landscapes of Algonquin Park and the Canadian wilderness, famed Canadian artists Tom Thomson and his successors, the Group of Seven went into the wilds, carrying canvas and paints, to discover and reveal their own ideals for Canadian art.
