Victoria Day Long Weekend at Colonial Bay

The long weekend is behind us and our guests tell us they had a fantastic time. Some golfed at Grandview, others visited Algonquin Park or sampled the yummy treats at Henrietta's Bakery, but most spent the weekend hanging out at Colonial Bay. On Saturday, a flotilla of canoes and a rowboat ventured out onto Pen Lake. Some brave souls tested the water with some swimming. They said the water was great! (The warm afternoon sun helped to keep the chill off). And lots of people were fishing from the canoes and the dock. Saturday night ended with the annual Wight family fireworks display.

Missed out on the fireworks? The July long weekend is just over a month away. There are celebrations across Muskoka including fireworks in both Huntsville and Dwight and an old-fashioned Strawberry Social at Muskoka Heritage Place. Come and celebrate Canada Day in Muskoka!

Boating on Pen Lake

Andy takes his new boat for a spin on Pen Lake with Scotty and Nikki. Andy, Scotty and their Mom and Dad have been visiting Colonial Bay since the early 70's.
Over the years Andy and Scotty have spent countless hours entertaining Luke and Ben with remote control cars, boats and even a helicopter during their visits. In recent years Addie has become quite attached to Emille and Theresa as they do more artsy things.
The highlight of the Victoria Day weekend is the fireworks display set off by Andy and Scotty. It rivals any display on the lake and each year gets better. This year there was an intermission as everyone needed to rest their necks from looking skyward.
