📍 Destination Overview
Huntsville is a small town in Ontario's Muskoka lake district, about 215 km from Toronto and the gateway to Algonquin Provincial Park. Hundreds of lakes scatter among granite and pines. Its charming Main Street holds independent shops and cafés, while Deerhurst Resort, host of the 2010 G8 summit, adds fame; mornings mist the lakes and evenings bring quiet canoeing.
