Description

Added by Stephanie Memory

This is a local favorite for Muskokians! Most of the trail looks like a magical forest. The pathway along the water is actually the bank of an ancient, broader, deeper river which explains the unique beauty of this adventure.

Wilson's Falls is a beautiful hiking trail located right in the heart of Muskoka. This trail provides many different access points for stunning views of the waterfalls. Most of the trail guides you along the river bank in unique forest terrain. If you're an adventure seeker, with summer's lower water levels you can swim and play in the falls! Great spot for a picnic and is great for all ages.

The paddling is mostly easy, although you may battle some winds across the bigger lakes. We happened to be out on the first lake during a heavy ...
