Lookout Park
A small municipal park in Gravenhurst with a playground and a lookout over Muskoka Bay and the wharf. Overgrown trees block much of the view, and the stairs to the shore have been closed.
What visitors say
Lookout Park is a small town park on George Street in Gravenhurst, set on a rise above Muskoka Bay and the Muskoka Wharf, where the steamships dock. The town lists a lawn, benches, picnic tables, a playground and a path down to the rocks at the water.
Reviews are lukewarm about the view. Several visitors say the trees in front of the lookout have grown up and block much of the bay, and one found little to see. A path and stairs lead toward the lake, but people report it ends quickly at a private property sign, and a visitor a year ago found the stairs to the shore closed.
The playground is the park's strongest point, and one parent called it a great spot for kids. Parking is limited to a handful of spaces that fill up with families. Leashed dogs are allowed. Unless you're in the neighbourhood with children, the Muskoka Wharf itself gives a closer look at the bay.
