Winter Activities in the Muskoka Region

Winter Activities in The Muskoka Region

• According to the Deerhurst Resort website, there are many exciting winter activities to enjoy in the Muskoka region. Many people flock to Muskoka resorts in the summer time, and for good reason, but for those who enjoy the brisk air and picturesque snowy scenes, the winter also has a lot to offer.

Skating

• Skating is a favourite winter pastime of Canadians all across the country, and Muskoka is one of the more picturesque locations in which to do it. You can rent skates at Deerhurst Resort and other Muskoka resorts, then head out onto any number of outdoor skating rinks or frozen rivers and lakes to skate.

Snowmobiling

• If you’ve never been out in the open air on a snowmobile, feeling the cold air smack you in the face, you’re in for a treat. Snowmobiling offers a sense of freedom you aren’t likely to experience in too many other places. Muskoka also has more than 2,000 km of groomed snowmobile trails for you to explore, just to ensure you’ll never pass the same spot twice.

Snowshoeing

• Heading out for a day of snowshoeing will take you back in time, and will give you great workout at the same time. It can take a while to learn how to maneuver the snowshoes properly, but when you do you can venture off to places you wouldn’t normally be able to go with just regular winter boots.

Dog Sleds

• Heading out for a day of snowshoeing will take you back in time, and will give you great workout at the same time. It can take a while to learn how to maneuver the snowshoes properly, but when you do you can venture off to places you wouldn’t normally be able to go with just regular winter boots.

Skiing & Snowboarding

• Several Muskoka Resorts offer downhill skiing and snowboarding as part of their line up of winter activities. There is even a ski hill right next to Deerhurst Resort, where you can test out your skills, even if you are just a beginner.

Cross-Country Skiing

• If you like the idea of the skis, but not so much the hill, you can try cross-country skiing instead. There’s a reason that so many home exercise machines are designed to simulate cross-country skiing. It is a challenging workout that gets your entire lower body involved, as well as your cardiovascular system. It’s also a great way to see Muskoka in a peaceful, non-motorized kind of way.
