Lazy Days of August

We had another fantastic long weekend here at Colonial Bay. Our guests took full advantage of the amazing weather to spend some time on the water.

If you missed it, there’s still the whole month of August, some would argue the best month of the summer, to enjoy. And if fabulous weather and the chance to relax lakeside (or in the lake like this…

)

aren’t enough to entice you, there’s a whole raft of events happening this month in Muskoka. Here are just a few of them:

Concerts in the Park, Huntsville Town Dock, Wednesday nights until Aug 24 from 7-9 pm
Bring a lawn chair and a toonie for some tunes!
