Going to Cottage Country Canadian Right of Summer

The Toronto Star today is leading their travel section with a description of Port Stanley, one of Ontario's original resort destinations where my father went for the Big Band Sounds when he was driving his Model T. The article positions the beach on Lake Erie as the prime attraction. See Cottage Country in Port Stanley--it is all about the beach.

The area north of Toronto is also a favoured cottage destination, and is most often considered the main "cottage country" destination. See Cottages and Cabins north of Toronto. Fresh water beaches are hard to match the further one goes north into cottage country. For a listing of Ontario fresh water beaches see Beaches North of Toronto.

Cottage and Cottage Country in Canada

I can honestly say I am a bit of an expert on Cottaging in Canada, having started in my teenage years with my parents in Ontario's Kawartha region, as well as having rented a cottage boat house for many summers in Severn Township on Maclean Lake, having a cottage house in Huntsville Ontario and having stayed in cottages in PEI, BC, Alberta, and Quebec, and a cottage B&B in Nova Scotia. The wafts of water in fresh lake spring breezes is for me an invigorating force of renewal. Cottage country north of Toronto is perhaps the best know area for Ontario summer vacations that have become traditions over the years. The Muskokas, Haliburton, Georgian Bay, Lake Simcoe, the ocean cottages in PEI, all bring back great memories of delightful vacation experiences.
