Local Experiences

Port Cunnington is your home base to explore Muskoka.

Immerse yourself in nature in Muskoka

The exposed granite outcroppings, windswept shorelines and crystal blue waters of Muskoka have been calling outdoor enthusiasts for more than a century. City dwellers travelled to Port Cunnington Lodge by train and steamship to experience the rugged outdoors. Use our resort as your home base and explore the wilderness for yourself. Located between Algonquin Park and Arrowhead Provincial Parks, we are close to many hiking and cycling trails as well as opportunities for paddling our spectacular lakes and rivers. You might even catch a glimpse of Muskoka’s wildlife including deer, foxes, and the iconic moose. We are surrounded by beaches, picnic areas and scenic lookouts. Local outfitters offer boat, bike and equipment rentals to help make your adventure a reality. The region is also perfect for a leisurely drive, with scenic rural roads that wind past secluded lakes and through mature forests. Port Cunnington Lodge is the ideal place to stay while you immerse yourself in nature in Muskoka.
