Outdoor spaces update - May 16, 2025

With the Victoria Day long weekend approaching, the Town of Gravenhurst is updating residents and visitors on the status of outdoor spaces following the ice storm earlier this spring.   

We are happy to announce the reopening the following public parks and cemeteries: 

• Church Street Parkette 

• Franklin Park 

• Symington Cemetery 

• Lutheran Cemetery 

• Kilworthy Park 

Swim buoys have been placed at the following beaches, which are open to the public: 

• Muskoka Beach Park 

• Muskoka Bay Park 

• Gull Lake Rotary Park 

• Franklin Park 

• Lorne Street Beach 

Dock C Ramp (in front of Boston Pizza/Dock of the Bay) is repaired and open for use. Remember public dock’s A & C have a 6-hour maximum docking time (By-law No. 2024-90). 

Other sites have already re-opened and this information is available on our website along with details about locations that remain closed.  

Some parks, trails, and cemeteries remain closed while staff and contractors continue to address safety concerns.   

Repairs and remediation may include the use of contractors and specialized equipment to deal with damaged trees.
