Muskoka's Big 3: Everything You Need To Know About Lake Rosseau

Welcome to my Big 3 Guide for Muskoka's most popular lakes: Lake Joseph, Lake Rosseau, and Lake Muskoka.In this article, we'll explore all you need to know — from technical specs to lodgings to fun things to do — when it comes to Lake Rosseau.Arguably Muskoka’s most well known and popular of the Big 3 Muskoka Lakes, Lake Rosseau has led the evolution of the Muskoka region into the 21st century. Lake Rosseau showcases many modern, state-of-the-art, luxury lake houses, many of which also boast large, 2-storey boat houses with upper level accommodations. With direct lake access to neighbouring Lake Joseph via the Joe River or Port Sandfield channel, Lake Rosseau is ideal for socializing among old Muskoka families, and today’s upwardly mobile “Movers and Shakers” — from Canada and beyond. Many celebrity sightings can be traced to Lake Rosseau — the lake is home to some 1,450 cottages, including those linked to big names like Tom Hanks, Cindy Crawford, and the Rogers Family — and new visitors can become acquainted with area via short-term stays at a plethora of rental cottages on the lake, or through stays at local hotels like the JW Marriot. If you are looking for a unique boating tour, I recommend you circumnavigate Tobin Island, where you can view a range of quintessential muskoka cottages (including the massive Rogers family estate-meets-compound).The Tech SpecsWhere Is Lake RosseauLake Rosseau is located in north central Muskoka, with the lake's north portion extending into the Township of Humphrey in Parry Sound District. Lake Rosseau can be accessed via Muskoka Roads 4, 7, 25, 27, and 28, and by Highway 141.Maximum Depth89 metresSurface Area6,390 hectaresPublic AccessPublic; public boat launches at Rosseau, Port Carling, and Skeleton Bay.The Fun StuffRestaurantsThese are the must-visit eateries in the region.
