Boating & Watersports

Gravenhurst's urban core lays between Lake Muskoka and Gull Lake with easy walkable access between the two locations! In addition to these large lakes, Gravenhurst offers access to many other lakes and rivers, where you can enjoy canoeing, kayaking, rowing, boating, waterskiing, wakeboarding, tubing and so much more!

If you brought your own vessel check out the list of launches and public docks in and around Gravenhurst. If you don't have your own water "toy" visit our business directory for a list of locations where you can rent a boat, personal watercraft, canoe, kayak or other cool toys for the day.
