About Muskoka River

Our beautiful and friendly town of Bracebridge, Ontario has so much more to offer than one gets to experience when visiting our town. Nature has been kind to us and blessed us with many beautiful lakes, both large and small for our local community and visitors to enjoy.

The Muskoka River is truly a treat, as it gently meanders near downtown, passes by the popular and well known Santa’s village and flows into the beautiful Muskoka Lake.

The river is dotted with beautiful waterfront properties, that come alive with people socializing or sitting by the docks, reading or watching as people go by.

Our intent is to enable our community and visitors, both young and old, to truly enjoy and explore this nature’s gift safely. In return, we also want to give back to nature the respect and care it deserves, so our future generations can also benefit from it’s abundance.

Remember, what you breathe out, the trees breathe in and what the trees breathe out, you breathe in.

We need each other, so it makes sense to look after each other

Depending on how much time you have, you can rent the affordable waterbike, for as little as 30 minutes to an hour or more!

What can you do in 30 minutes? Plenty:

1. From our location ride over to the very shallow beach and take some awesome selfies with the famous Bracebridge falls as your backdrop – you can ride right up to the base of the falls – without a doubt the best seat in the house!. You can then cruise by the beach and ride back to our docks.

2. You can elect to go to the backwaters, and you will find yourself surrounded by forest and wildlife within minutes – serene and beautiful. Take a moment to listen to the silence. Turn around after 15 min and head back to our dock.

For longer rides, get some refreshing drinks (non-alcoholic please-remember water and alcohol do not mix) , pop them in the drinks holder on the bikes, and cruise down the river towards Muskoka Lake. We will also give you a small bluetooth speaker that attaches to our life jacket. Now you can listen to your favorite tune while cruising.

As you cruise and admire the view, you will pass friendly cottagers enjoying the BBQ and relaxing on their docks, paddle boarders, canoes, kayaks, boats and cruise yachts.

They are all looking at you and saying – “yup, someone’s got the right idea- now THAT’S how you cruise the river !”

Graciously smile and wave a “hello”. And if you are so inclined, pull over by the resident’s dock and make new friends!
