Flights to Muskoka

Fly to Montréal for Canadian culture with a French accent.

Take off from downtown Toronto and land in Gravenhurst a short 35 minutes later. When you book a flight to Muskoka with Porter Airlines during the summer, you land in Muskoka with its cottages, gorgeous views and plenty of things to do with its six unique regions.

Get more out of your cottage weekends. You can skip traffic and be on the dock in no time when you land at Muskoka Airport in Gravenhurst, 20 minutes in the air from downtown Toronto - the only thing you'll miss about driving is a stop at Webers! From the airport, it's a short drive to surrounding towns, including only a 11-minute drive to Bracebridge.

Whether it’s on water or land, there are lots of things to do while visiting Muskoka. From boating and tubing to flyboarding, there’s enough water activities to keep your adrenaline going for days. If it’s calmer waters you’re after, there’s always kayaking, canoeing and fishing.

If you prefer land to water, walk, run or cycle your way through hundreds of hiking trails. Want someone else to do the walking for you? No problem! Hop on a horse and trot along trails or get chauffeured around in a wagon. It’s a fun way to get around and see some of Muskoka’s unique terrain and scenic vistas. If you would rather go at it alone, there are plenty of Provincial Parks to venture through, such as Arrowhead and Algonquin Park.

While you’re visiting, make sure to discover Muskoka’s charming towns. Bracebridge is always buzzing with art galleries, restaurants, boutiques, festivals and more. There are a ton of boat tours and hiking trails you could explore while you’re there.

Known as the ‘Gateway to Muskoka’, Gravenhurst is another charming town to explore. For over 150 years, its existence captivated visitors because of its beautiful lakes, lush forests and rocky landscapes.

If you prefer a more relaxing weekend away, then Muskoka Lakes or Lake of Bays is where you need to unwind. Pull up a Muskoka Chair on the dock and watch the sun set behind a perfect backdrop of Evergreen trees, or watch as boaters zip by while locals fish off the docks. It’s the ideal place to relax after a long day of outdoor activities.

Make sure you leave room for treats from some of Muskoka’s best bakeries. These bakers know the right ingredients to make the best apple pie, gooey sticky buns and of course, the perfect butter tart. Pick one up or a whole box to take with you before your flight back home.

With so many regions, you’ll want to book several flights to Muskoka with Porter Airlines this summer so you can discover them all.

Calling all outdoor enthusiasts! Book a flight to Muskoka and head straight for Lake of Bays. One of the largest lakes in Muskoka, this region serves up lots of summer fun, including boating, tubing, and paddleboarding.

This township is overflowing with lakes, cottage resorts, cultural attractions and outdoor activities. There are three main communities that make up Lake of Bays; Baysville, Dorset and Dwight. Each community offers its own restaurants, art galleries, boutiques and self-guided history tours so you can get the lay of all three lands.

One park that is not to be missed while visiting Lake of Bays is Algonquin Provincial Park. Stay for the day and hike through its trails or stay for the weekend and camp under the stars. If you’ve got time to wander out a little further, visit Arrowhead, Ragged Falls Provincial Park and Oxtongue Rapids: all parks are nearby and offer their own sense of outdoor adventure.

Which way to the beach? Nestled in Dwight Bay, you’ll find, well, Dwight Beach. It’s the perfect public beach to go for a dip and have a picnic. If you’re renting a boat, launch it off the dock and enjoy some water-filled activities like waterskiing, wakeboarding or kneeboarding.

If you’re interested in sea-ing more history, stop by the SS Bigwin and Marine Museum. Cruise around the Lake of Bays aboard the wooden steamboat built in 1910. SS Bigwin isn’t just known for its age but also for its famous passengers. Winston Churchill, Clark Gable, Louis Armstrong and Greta Gabo were all aboard this boat at one point in time.

Feet feeling a little tired? Why not take a scenic drive around the lake? This 80 kilometre loop is great for cruising past scenic views of calming waters and beautiful lush forests.

Outdoor thrills, cultural experiences, shopping and local dining are all waiting to be discovered at Lake of Bays on your next flight to Muskoka.
