Community Event - Muskoka - Huntsville/Deerhurst 125 Tourism Legacy
As the first summer resort in Huntsville, Deerhurst Resort’s importance to our
town’s growth as a tourism destination has continually evolved since opening its doors in 1896.
In the early days, Huntsville and Deerhurst were connected by the steamboats
of the Huntsville Lake of Bays Navigation Company which made both
passenger travel and delivery of supplies possible.
This connection is now being commemorated with matching Muskoka chair
murals illustrating each side of that historic steamboat journey enjoyed by generations of travellers to Huntsville.
Today, the connection between town and resort remains as strong as and more
important than ever. With its spectacular growth over 125 years, Deerhurst
Resort remains one of Huntsville’s major employers and its largest tourism
driver, with an economic impact that benefits all sectors.
