Carling Boat Show "What
is Port Carling? Ask a bureaucrat or town planner, and he'll tell you
that it's a recreational service community, catering to - and sustained
by - tourists and a seasonal cottage population on the adjacent Muskoka
Lakes. Ask a local merchant or tradesperson, and she'll tell you it's
a place where you can make fairly good money for three to five months
of the year. Ask a tourist, and he'll exclaim what a delightful village
it is, how many nice little stores and boutiques it has, and so many
interesting things to see - boat locks and a lift bridge right in the
middle of town, so many lovely old mahogany motorboats, such quaint
churches, and its own summer theatre and museum. Ask one of the local
people, and she'll shrug and call it home. Ask a resident of a neighbouring
village (such as Bala, Minett, Glen Orchard or Milford Bay), and he'll
tell you it's a bumptious little place where people play rough hockey.
Ask a seasonal resident or nearby cottager - who may have been coming
for twenty, thirty or forty years - and he'll probably tell you that
Port Carling is home away from home, and a wonderful antidote to the
noise and hustle of the big city." "Port Carling has traditionally been dubbed the "Hub of the Lakes" - not a bad description - as it is uniquely well placed to become the focal point for much of Lakes Rosseau and Joseph as well as northern Lake Muskoka.
Commercially, Port Carling is a satellite of Bracebridge,
the district seat, which lies about twenty miles southeast, just as Bala
is essentially a satellite of Gravenhurst.
Port Carling even looks a little bit like Bracebridge, at least in its central
core, where the main buildings of the business section resemble those of a large
farming town rather than a small village." For a full list of Muskoka accommodations, click here.
