About Lake of Bays
The township surrounds theLakeof Bays, one of the largest lakes in Muskoka. A number of tiny communities have settled on the many bay, but they're easy to miss- most homes and cottages are well secluded from the highways, found at the ends of winding roads leading to the shore. Along the major driving routes, the villages ofDwight(at the north end of the lake, on Highways 35 and 60),Dorset(at the east end, split by the county border withHaliburton, on Highway 35), andBaysville(at the sound west end of the lake, on Muskoka Road 117) are the township's main settlements. The Lake's long shoreline provides archaeological evidence of tools used by people who fished and hunted these lands about 5,000-7,000 years ago, after the last glaciers retreated from the Canadian Shield about 10,000 years a
