Nestled in the northeastern corner of Muskoka, the Township of Lake of Bays is a breathtaking mosaic of over 100 pristine lakes—each one offering a unique slice of natural beauty, serenity, and possibility. At its heart lies Lake of Bays itself, the second-largest lake in Muskoka, known for its crystal-clear waters, expansive shorelines, and timeless charm.
This picturesque region is more than just a destination—it’s a lifestyle. Whether you're seeking a peaceful escape from the city or planning a full-time move to cottage country, Lake of Bays offers the perfect balance of tranquility and community. The township is home to a collection of charming hamlets—Baysville, Dorset, Dwight, Hillside, and Oxtongue—each with its own local character, friendly faces, and small-town warmth.
From year-round adventure to laid-back lakefront living, Lake of Bays is the kind of place that draws you in—and makes it hard to leave. With its abundance of waterfront properties, family-friendly communities, and deep-rooted Muskoka heritage, it’s no wonder so many are choosing to call this special place home.
