Near and dear to me is Lake of Bays. A lake in Muskoka second in size to only Lake Joseph. Steeped in history, Lake of Bays is touched by several communities. Nith Grove, North Portage, Norway Point, Port Cunnington, Sea Breeze, South Portage and Wahawin, Glenmount, Grandview, Grassmere, Grove Park, Hillside, Limberlost Lodge, Lumina, Maple Ridge, Millar Hill. It’s history is colourful and many made their way to the region to enjoy the deluxe hotels and Inn’s. The Wawa hotel and the infamous BigWin Inn situated on its own 520 acre Island were adorned World wide. BigWin attracted the elite from all over North America and featured professional, top music acts and was often the summer home of many artists and writers. Ernest Hemingway to Duke Ellington, Guy Lombardo, Count Basie and countless others. My father worked at BigWin named after Chief Big Wind in the 1960’s as a summer job in University and ran the gas docks which fueled the many deluxe mahogany boats and aircraft. If you want a Lake that offers it all…Big boating adventures, large estate lots and incredible communities ask me about my specialty Lake of Bays, Muskoka.
