During the summer Gravenhurst comes alive with colourful hanging flowers! But it’s always a great idea to spend some time wandering downtown. Gravenhurst’s downtown can be found along Muskoka Road South, between Phillip Street and Brown Street. Along this stretch you’ll find all the best that Ontario small towns have to offer, historic buildings, quaint cafes, and cute shops. All of which Gravenhurst has plenty of. Many of the restaurants in Gravenhurst can be found along this stretch, along with a few cute cafes. And you’ll find ample parking along the main street, but there is a three-hour limit. If you’re looking for cute cottage country shops to browse or pick up a souvenir or two then you’re in luck!

Hardy Lake Provincial Park is a great place to stop and explore one of the 3 trails to explore.
There is a lovely 3km trail that traverses rocky outcrops, natural shoreline and forested areas. This trail is of moderate difficulty with some steep ascents and declines.
The 8km trail circles the lake with wonderful views of untouched shoreline. This is considered a 'wilderness' trail and can be challenging for novice users! The trail travels over shoreline, wetlands and forested areas and requires some moderate navigation skills. The trail requires at least 2-3 hours to complete.
A 7km trail on the South East side of the park traverses through forest and over wetlands to the shore of Lake Muskoka providing splendid views of one of the 'big lakes'. This trail is also challenging, and users should be prepared to navigate thick bush.

"The museum was formerly a boarding house operated by Fanny Pike at the beginnings of the 1900s and now houses artifacts from the Muskoka region from its founding by Thomas Burgess as well as those pertaining to Lucy Maud Montgomery, the author of the Anne of Green Gables series and The Blue Castle. It is the only museum of its kind outside of Prince Edward Island to do so. It sees visitors from around the world regularly, especially for the annual Anne of Green Gables Day, with re-enactments of Montgomery's two-week visit to the region in 1922." (wikipedia.com)
