Gravenhurst is known as the Gateway to Muskoka. There are many attractions hiking and biking trails, parks, beaches, heritage locations and culinary, cultural and artistic pursuits. Some of the yearly festivals include the Antique and Classic Boat Show, Piratefest, Dockside Festival of the Arts, Winter Carnival and Music on the Barge.

Uptown Gravenhurst is a friendly mix of eclectic shops, restaurants & professional specialty services. From fine dining to shoes - everything you could want can be found in Uptown Gravenhurst, complete with that small town atmosphere and personalized service.

Gravenhurst's historic waterfront has been re-born as the all new Muskoka Wharf, a $170 million, 89 acre celebration of the unique and colourful history of Ontario's premier all-season vacation playground. The glory of the steam era on the Muskoka Lakes comes alive at Muskoka Wharf with a combination of heritage facilities, shops and restaurants, a Marriott Residence Inn, and of course the home port of the Muskoka Steamships.
