STORIES FROM THE REGION


We start any weekend in cottage country with a pint of good beer — and Bracebridge has ’em in spades. Stop in at Muskoka Brewery for their latest brew to sip on the patio or grab a six pack to enjoy on the dock. Looking to try something different? Check out newly opened Katalyst Brewing Co for unique takes of sours and IPAs including our current favorite: the Passion Project Hazy IPA.

On Saturday mornings, we make sure to stop in the Bracebridge Farmers’ Market in Memorial Park to see what’s up. From wild blueberries to smoked trout to baked goods galore, this is the place to stock up for the weekend!

Following the market, we pick up a coffee and a butter tart from one of the many downtown eateries. Then walk towards the bottom of the street, right near the Visitors Information Center, to find iconic Bracebridge Falls. From there it’s an easy stroll to the Historic Walkway along the shore of Bracebridge Bay.

Breadheads, rejoice! Bracebridge is home to the very best bakery in Muskoka. Big River Baking Company, next to Hiram St. Market, is baking next level sourdoughs and croissants.
