You're in for a treat at Port Carling

Thinking of taking a little break in Muskoka Lakes? Look no further than Port Carling, which hugs the Indian River and is often called the "Hub of the Lakes". If you've not heard of these Canadian waterways, you're in for a treat. In this gorgeous part of Ontario, you can spend your days with the family splashing around in the cool lake waters, gliding downstream on kayaks, or discovering the history of the first settlers, who built their log cabins along the shoreline. The town itself exudes rural charm with pretty waterside eateries, eclectic boutiques and friendly folk.

Port Carling enjoys all 4 seasons

The busiest time for Muskoka Lakes is during the summer break, when families descend on the waterways and book up the Port Carling vacation rentals to escape the stuffy cities. Don't discount the other 3 seasons though. While winters can get cold and many of the shops close down for the season, spring and fall are rather pleasant, not to mention cheaper and less crowded. It's not uncommon for the lake area to be warm enough for a dip, and in fall the turning of the leaves transforms the surrounding forests into a kaleidoscope of color.

Watching wildlife in Port Carling

It's not hard to spot critters near your Port Carling vacation rental. Serious wildlife enthusiasts head out at dawn or dusk, when there are fewer people disturbing the animals and they are at their most active. You don't have to go far. Just an early morning walk around a section of the lake's edge will likely bring you in close contact with anything from slinking foxes to cheeky little porcupines. With some luck, you may even catch a glimpse of a bobcat roaming through the forest or along the river banks. If you point your binoculars towards the sky, look out for bald eagles, which circle overhead.
