Muskoka is Canada's most accessible "semi-wilderness" playground, located two hours north of the city of Toronto. This book catalogues over 100 adventure possibilities from easy afternoon excursions to serious three to four-day canoe trips, or, do the bed-and-breakfast kayak tour on the famous Muskoka Lake system. The book also includes hiking and ski trails, whitewater canoeing "hot" spots, coastal kayaking on Georgian Bay, and gentle float trips for family fun. Routes are graded for difficulty, with travel descriptions detailing all the information you need to plan a trip. Write-ups include snippets of poetry, historical references, ecology and illustrations by the author. Not to be fooled by the presence of cottages, golf courses and quaint villages -- Muskoka abounds in wild adventure possibilities. The book covers an area larger than Algonquin Provincial Park. A note about all of Hap Wilson's Guidebooks: Although these are field-friendly travel guidebooks, they are written and illustrated to charm and fascinate the couch-traveler as well.
