This Interactive Online Vacation Map covers the area from Huntsville, Ontario in the northwest toward Dwight and Dorset in the east.  The towns of  Baysville and Port Sydney to the south of Huntsville and Dwight are also pictured.  This area is considered by many to be a part of  the area of Muskoka.   The reason for the break in the map from the "Muskoka Region Map" to the "Huntsville and Lake of Bays Map" is for sizing and convenience.  

This area map has just been launched and will be filled with information shortly.  You will be able to click onto the categories in bold black letters on the left side menu to see where to find what you are looking for.  You can also click onto the towns to see the business listings inside each town that is marked with a red dot.

Lake of Bays is located in the northeast corner of the District of Muskoka. The economy is based primarily on tourism, as their population grows from a permanent residence of 3,000 to seasonal of 18,000.
 
Huntsville is named after Captain George Hunt who settled in the area in 1869.  Growth in this area is largely due to the building of the locks on the Muskoka River and the logging of Algonquin Park.  The logging industry and the Ontario Junction Railway both helped Huntsville become what it is today.  Huntsville currently has a population of over 18,000 and is the fastest growing community in Muskoka. 

Baysville was first surveyed in 1862 by Robert Burns.  William H. Brown was the town's founder and built the downstream lumbermill.  The road from Bracebridge to Baysville was built in 1873.  In the 1900's the people from Toronto started to discover Baysville and Muskoka.  Bigwin Inn opened in 1920, and Baysville even had slot machines in the late 1930's.  Today, Baysville is becomming known for its local art.  Several art galleries and studios are well worth your time to visit.

Dorset is located at Hwy 117 and Hwy 35, on the border of Muskoka and Haliburton Highlands. It is a popular stopover before Algonquin Park.  The Lake of Bays waterway, runs from Trading Bay through the Main St. at the narrows.  There is a single lane bridge that joins the main street, and its usually packed with summer tourist or winter audiences watching the snowmobilers run the open water.
