Toronto Pearson (YYZ) · Gravenhurst and Muskoka Lakes
Muskoka at a Glance
The District Municipality of Muskoka is made up of six area municipalities, three towns and three townships: Gravenhurst, Bracebridge and Huntsville, and Georgian Bay, Lake of Bays and Muskoka Lakes. Gravenhurst calls itself the Gateway to Muskoka because it is the first stop coming from southern Ontario. Bracebridge, in the centre, is the seat of the district government, and Huntsville is the western gateway to Algonquin Provincial Park. The Township of Muskoka Lakes gives access to the three largest lakes, Muskoka, Rosseau and Joseph, with Port Carling between the first two.

A Car for the Day in Muskoka
For a wedding weekend, a resort stay with dinners elsewhere, or a day that takes in more than one town, book by the hour. The chauffeur and vehicle remain with you from the first pickup to the last drop-off; the minimum is two hours and each hour includes 40 km, an allowance that matters on roads where the next town can be half an hour away. The Executive Sprinter, for six to fourteen guests, is booked this way and is how a wedding party travels between a ceremony and a reception without anyone driving.
Resorts and Landmarks We Drive To
Around Gravenhurst: Taboo Muskoka on Muskoka Beach Road, Muskoka Bay Resort on North Muldrew Lake Road, and the Muskoka Wharf, where Muskoka Steamships sails the RMS Segwun and the Wenonah II. In Muskoka Lakes: the JW Marriott The Rosseau Muskoka Resort & Spa at 1050 Paignton House Road in Minett, and Windermere House on Lake Rosseau. In Huntsville: Deerhurst Resort at 1235 Deerhurst Drive, on the shore of Peninsula Lake. Private cottages are reached by the civic address and, where the last stretch is a private road, by the directions you give us.

Around Muskoka
The route is the same for almost everyone. From Toronto, Highway 400 runs north to Barrie, where Highway 11 continues towards Orillia and then through the middle of the district, connecting Gravenhurst, Bracebridge and Huntsville. For Gravenhurst the exit is Highway 169; for Bracebridge and Port Carling it is Highway 118 West, which crosses the centre of Muskoka; for Huntsville it is Highway 60, the road that carries on through Algonquin Park.
Each town has its landmark. Gravenhurst has the Muskoka Wharf, an 89-acre waterfront where the steamships dock. Bracebridge, which brands itself the Heart of Muskoka, sits on the 45th parallel and is home to Santa's Village. Huntsville has hosted the G8 summit and looks east to Algonquin. And Port Carling, which the township describes as the hub of the lakes, lies between Lake Rosseau and Lake Muskoka, with Bala and Windermere the other two communities that anchor Muskoka Lakes.
A word on flying. Muskoka Airport, near Gravenhurst at 1011 Airport Road, is owned by the District and handles charter aircraft, corporate jets and recreational pilots. It is not one of the 32 airports with a page on this site; if your aircraft is landing there, book the pickup by that address and put the operator and the tail number in the notes, and dispatch will confirm the meeting point with you.
Questions about Muskoka
How long is the drive from Toronto Pearson to Muskoka?
It depends how far in you are going. Gravenhurst is 160 km and typically 1 hour 55 minutes; Bracebridge 175 km and typically 2 hours 5 minutes; Port Carling 200 km and typically 2 hours 20 minutes; Huntsville 210 km and typically 2 hours 30 minutes. All of these are traffic and weather permitting.
Can you find a cottage on a private road?
Yes, with your help. Give us the civic address and any directions for the final stretch, such as a road name, a fork or a sign at the gate, and they go on the chauffeur's sheet. If mobile coverage is poor at the cottage, tell us that too and we agree the pickup time in advance rather than relying on a call.
Do you drive to Muskoka in winter?
Yes, year round. Winter is why every time on this page says traffic and weather permitting: we set the pickup with the forecast in mind, and if a road closure or severe weather makes a trip unsafe, clause 5.2 of our Terms applies and anything you paid for the cancelled part is refunded.
What vehicle should we book for a family and a week of luggage?
The Executive Van / SUV carries up to five passengers with five bags, and it is the usual choice for a cottage week. Tell us at booking about anything oversized, and we assign a vehicle that fits or suggest a second one.
Can the same chauffeur take us home at the end of the week?
You book the return as its own trip, at the same time if you like, so a car is assigned for the day you leave. Ask for the same chauffeur when you book and we accommodate it where that chauffeur is available; we cannot guarantee a specific person, but the address notes and the flight number carry over.
Do you provide cars for a wedding at a Muskoka resort?
Yes. Wedding transport is booked by the hour: a car for the couple, an Executive Van / SUV for family, and a Sprinter running guests between the hotel and the venue. Dispatch plans the running order with you beforehand.
