Sweet treats in Muskoka

After a hot day spent playing in the water, on the beach or on the trails, a cool treat is the perfect end to the day. Whether you prefer ice cream, frozen yogurt and gelato, Muskoka has them all!

Some delicious-looking scoops from Belly Ice Cream

• Kawartha Dairy, Highway 60 east of Huntsville – Ice cream by the cone or tub, treats and locally produced condiments, maple syrup and honey.
• The Nutty Chocolatier, Downtown Huntsville – Ice cream and lots and lots (did we say lots?) of chocolate and candy.
• Belly Ice Cream, Downtown Huntsville – Unique flavours of ice cream hand-made right here in Huntsville!
• Yogs, Downtown Huntsville – Frozen yogurt and ice cream.
• That Little Place by the Lights, Downtown Huntsville – Authentic gelato…yum. (And delicious food, too!)

If you’re heading out to Algonquin Park, check these out, too:

• Two Rivers Store, Highway 60 in Algonquin Park at km 31.4 – Soft serve and scooped ice cream, milkshakes and sundaes.
• Opeongo Store (Algonquin Outfitters), 6.2 km north of Highway 60 in Algonquin Park at km 46.3 – Scooped ice cream and sundaes (you can even build your own: Cherry Chocolate Smores, anyone?).

And if you don’t like ice cream but are still craving something sweet, check out one of Muskoka’s delicious bakeries:

• Schat Bakery and Café, Downtown Huntsville – Dutch pastries and artisan breads (plus a full café with sandwiches, soups and salads).
• Henrietta’s Pine Bakery, Highway 60 in Dwight – Pastries, breads and sandwiches to go.

The weather is getting warmer, the lake temperature is rising and summer is just a week away! We hope you’ll come for a visit – summer is the ideal time to experience the best of Muskoka. You can view the availability of our waterfront cottages here. 

We hope to see you soon!
