What visitors say

This gazebo sits on a granite ridge along the Peninsula Trail at Muskoka Wharf in Gravenhurst, looking out over Lake Muskoka and the boats coming and going. Reviewers rate the view very highly, and several single out the fall colours.

It's about a five-minute walk from the wharf and boat docks. The path follows the rock, with some steep steps near the top, so good shoes help. There are a couple of benches to sit and take in the view.

The rest of the Peninsula Trail is worth a stroll too; it drops into the woods and follows the shoreline, with more benches and picnic tables. Walk to the other side of the peninsula for a view of the harbour.

The granite can be slippery when wet, so it's best on a dry day. It's a good short outing to pair with time at Muskoka Wharf.
