Cruising Lake Muskoka with Muskoka Steamships in Gravenhurst Ontario

Muskoka Steamships in Gravenhurst Ontario invited us to join them on a two-hour cruise of Lake Muskoka. A fall cruise in Muskoka is an amazing way to spend the day. Crisp air, beautiful colours, and a 130-year-old steamship!

Driving in Gravenhurst, Ontario [Muskoka]

This is a video of driving in Gravenhurst, Ontario.

Gravenhurst is a small town in the Muskoka region of Ontario. It's south of Bracebridge and located directly on the highway that heads north into the heart of Ontario Cottage Country.

The town has a population of 12,000 but this swells up to 20,000 or more people during the warmer summer months.

Apart from driving through I've never given Gravenhurst a proper chance. The only reason I drive through is to grab some gas and something to eat before heading to the Torrance Barrens Dark Sky Preserve.

The next time I'm in the area I plan to thoroughly explore Gravenhurst and check out all that it has to offer!

For now, enjoy this video of the highlights of driving through Gravenhurst!

Town of Gravenhurst RAC Summer 2016

A look back on some of the summer fun in Gravenhurst, Muskoka in 2016 with the Recreation Arts and Culture Dpt!

The history of the now abandoned Muskoka Regional Centre spans over 120 years. The intriguing story of the Muskoka Regional Centre began in the last decade of the 1800s during the rampant global spread of tuberculosis. Gravenhurst is firmly entrenched in the history books as being the first site in Canada and only the third in North America before the turn of the century to treat patients who suffered from tuberculosis

Medical experts preferred Muskoka for its climate and moderate elevation, which provided more oxygen for patients, and was concluded to be unsurpassed by any place on the continent according to doctors. Gravenhurst was specifically liked for its rocky surroundings, dense forests and natural drainage enabling the soil to dry quickly.

As treatment and prevention of tuberculosis improved, the sanatorium found itself being less and less needed and as a result no new TB patients were admitted to the Muskoka hospital after June 10, 1960. The facility was sold to the provincial government and was then converted to care for the developmentally challenged and continued to serve the function of a group home until its final closure in 1994.

2018 was a great year of exploring, lots of Time Capsule houses as well as many mansions and large homes, however many of the locations this year lacked the decay, peeling paint and all of the good stuff that only a location like the San can provide.

I had planned a roadtrip to Northern Ontario for the Fall of 2018 and had the San on my list of locations, I had a solid 2 days so I knew I could afford the time to explore the building again. Upon arrival I noticed an SUV parked right at the front gate, this is a sign that someone is inside, a rookie or a lazy explorer….you never park at the front gate!! I parked far off-site and made the long walk back and in. As I approached the building two women emerged from the cut open fence, they were ghost hunters but were too afraid to go inside. One of the girls stated that her mother had been a patient many years ago.

I said goodbye and made my way around, I wasn’t having much luck finding a way inside until I finally came across a window that had a board ripped off and a table to allow for easier entry. Relieved that I hadn’t wasted my time I made my way into the San once again and right away knew where i was. I managed to keep my bearings the whole time I was inside, unlike my first explore I knew where I was the whole time. First observation, much more graffiti this time around….LOTS more! Also much more vandalism, I didn’t think it was possible to vandalize this place more than it was, but they found a way!

I spent much less time inside this time around as i was quickly losing sunlight and I arrived later in the day than I had planned. I actually originally planned to just come and do a quick walk through, confirm that i could get in and then return the next morning, however since I was in I just completed the whole explore in less than two hours or so.

On my first visit, due to the security patrols I was unable to explore the grounds and the exterior, however now there seemed to be no security patrol so I was able to enjoy the entire exterior, including the enclosed gazebo on the lake, the playground and i also had an encounter with a family of deer.

With the sun setting and the air getting colder I made my walk out and back to my car, another successful explore of the San and possibly my last.

Drive to Georgian bay Canada day long weekend, Video # 2, Muskoka, Ontario Canada.

This Saturday I went to White Fall Road in Muskoka Camp Ground. Due to construction and lots of traffic it took me around three hours to get there, which with no traffic takes around hour and a half to two hours. The GPS put me through different towns., it was a wonderful experience.

The Muskoka Wharf is located in the town of Gravenhurst, Ontario on the southern edge of Muskoka Bay on Lake Muskoka. The Muskoka Wharf is the home port of the RMS Segwun, the oldest operating steamship in North America and the last surviving original steamship from the fleet of several dozen that served the county of Muskoka, Ontario in the late 19th century and early 20th century, and the Wenonah II, a modern replica of an early 20th-century steamship.[1] The Muskoka Wharf, once a vibrant hub of economic activity at the union of a major railroad terminus and steamship port, fell into decline as roads and automobiles were introduced to the region, but has experienced a major economic resurgence since the creation of a heritage-based development area in 2005.
