One of the most magical places to visit in Muskoka is the Muskoka Wharf in Gravenhurst. Situated on one of the many bays of Lake Muskoka, the Wharf offers a long list of things to do, places to eat and shops to browse. Sitting in the water, as beacons of Muskoka’s history, are two steamships, the Segwun and the Wenonah II.

With a long history of steamship travel in Muskoka, one of the top attractions is taking a boat cruise. Muskoka Steamships offers a variety of cruises throughout the summer and fall months. Cruises range from one to four hours and take passengers on a number of different routes throughout Lake Muskoka.

Aboard the steamship you’ll hear all about of the area’s history, unique sights, and fun local stories. To learn more about Muskoka’s intriguing past and present head over to Discovery Centre.

Discovery Centre is an innovative museum that showcases Muskoka’s history and ever evolving present. It’s located a short 5-minute walk along the boardwalk that spans the Muskoka Wharf. Plus, visitors receive a discount on admission with their steamship ticket. The Centre features three exhibits that tell the story of Muskoka, from Indigenous caretakers to steamships.

So, plan a trip to Gravenhurst to cruise Lake Muskoka and learn at Discovery Centre.
