Muskoka Quiz – Ontario Cottage Country and Muskoka Chairs

Muskoka is a region of lakes and forests about two hours north of Toronto, often called Ontario's cottage country. Its three big lakes are Lake Muskoka, Lake Rosseau and Lake Joseph.

Pink granite of the Canadian Shield and windswept pines line the shores, and the wooden Muskoka chair is a cottage classic. The RMS Segwun, built in 1887, still carries passengers from Gravenhurst.

Towns like Bracebridge and Huntsville serve visitors, and Algonquin Park lies to the east. Grand old cottages on Millionaires' Row recall the wealthy families who summered here, and fall colors draw big crowds of visitors from the city.
