Algonquin Park Day Trips

The West entrance of Algonquin Park is 30 KM from Colonial Bay Cottage Resort- about 20 minutes to drive. Many of our guests enjoy a day or two exploring Algonquin and some of our cottage guests spend countless hours birding or searching for signs of various wildlife on many of the trails. There is a rich history to Algonquin Park which is interesting to both Adults and Children.

A Muskoka Boat Cruise

A great day trip from Colonial Bay is to Gravenhurst and the Muskoka Wharf. There, you will find the restored steamship RMS Segwun and Wenonah II. Both offer cruises on beautiful Lake Muskoka.

The Wharf is also home to Muskoka Heritage Centre - Grace and Speed. The centre is packed with interactive displays that kids will love. They can toot the whistles of various steamships, build their own wooden boat or start a working steam engine. Grace and Speed boathouse contains one of finest collections of antique wooden boats on the continent.

Golf a-round in Huntsvillle

We've known for quite awhile that Huntsville has lots of Golf Courses and they range from 9 and 18 hole local courses like Whispering Pines, Huntsville Downs and Granite Ridge to Championship Courses like Club Links Mark O'Meara, Deerhurst's Highland Course and Bigwin Islands spectacular 18 holes.

Last week as President Obama arrived in Huntsville for the Muskoka G8 aboard his helicopter Marine One, it's reported that he even noticed the abundance of golf courses.

When U.S. President Barack Obama stepped off his helicopter in Huntsville on Friday, the first thing he said was, “You’ve got a lot of golf courses here, don’t you?” Industry Minister Tony Clement told the National Post in an exclusive interview.

Why not come up to Huntsville and Golf on the courses that President Obama had a chance to fly over. We'll even put together a custom two or three day golf package that includes one of our Muskoka Cottages, as many rounds of golf as you like and a great place to relax with family and friends at the end of the day.
