Huntsville Is Muskoka’s Most Precious Jewel.
Three large lakes define the Huntsville area - Mary Lake, Lake Vernon, and Fairy Lake. There are countless smaller lakes as well. The Muskoka River winds its way through the city’s downtown, while the Big East River empties into Lake Vernon. Arrowhead Provincial Park is also located within Huntsville’s city limits.
Huntsville Is Art
Inspired by the scenery and the art colony vibe of the town, local and visiting artists flock here. Famed Canadian artist Tom Thomson and his successors, the Group of Seven painted here frequently. In fact, a Group of Seven Outdoor Gallery in Huntsville features over 40 outdoor murals celebrating the work of these Canadian icons.
Huntsville is well known for its many arts festivals, including Huntsville Festival of the Arts. Other arts activities include the annual Muskoka Novel Marathon, Film North (International Film Festival), and most recently Nuit Blanche North, produced by the Huntsville Festival of the Arts and Edge of the Woods Theatre.
