Muskoka Ride and Rendezvous [ON]

Muskoka Ride and Rendezvous 

This COG event in South Central Ontario Canada. Muskoka is a beautiful area in the province of Ontario in Canada. It's a popular and picturesque place to getaway in, that's second to none, with a long and rich history.

Muskoka extends from Georgian Bay in the west to the western border of Algonquin Provincial Park in the east, and to Severn Bridge in the south. It's just a two-hour drive north of the city of Toronto on Hwy 400. Muskoka spans 6,475 square km (2,500 sq. mi.).

Earlier in the spring of 2025, we started to plan a third weekend ride through Muskoka, where the paved highways and roads are intertwined with at least 10 major lakes and approximately 100 smaller lakes - too many to count.

The roads are well-mapped and marked. There is no shortage of curves, some so tight that if you don't pay attention to the recommended speed, you might find yourself in the ditch if there is one.

Suggested riding routes will be provided because the size of the Muskoka area and multiple routes. There will not be any guided tours.
